We’ll tell you all: the best, the good, the bad and the ugly. At the end of this article, you’ll find a place to submit your own comments. I encourage you to do so. Keep in mind, we typically only present one side of the story in most of these.

I needed a way to cover up our expensive, sensitive Starlink cable so it didn’t get crushed. Not to mention it’s a trip hazard. Our Starlink had to be situated in such a way to get satellite service that the cable was right in our walk path between the table and RV door. Covering it with a patio rug made me cringe as everyone stepped on it.

Please note: This Campground Crowding column will be moving to every other week to make room for more great articles. Please continue to send in your comments. RV sales have slowed and fewer people are buying RVs. Has that changed campground crowding? Is it easier to find a campsite now, particularly in state and national parks? Campgrounds are changing and evolving, some for the better and some for the worse.

As some of you are aware, we are camp hosts in a large regional park in Minnesota. Last week, a homeless couple approached us wanting to stay at a campsite. They did not have enough money for the site—they were $10 short, so my husband and I decided to chip in the $10 ourselves. As we travel, we see a lot of homeless encampments and families at intersections with cardboard signs. My husband and I always talk about the issue of homelessness and needing/wanting to do something.
