We encourage you to visit the Camping Carolinas page for two important messages posted today. One is a list of parks in the NC mountains region that are open; one lists those that are closed. If you can, please share those posts with your followers and help those parks that are open recover lost revenue due to Hurricane Helene. Even if someone pays for a reservation but does not go, its money that goes directly to the park and every little bit helps!

For all our friends and colleagues affected by Hurricane Helene - IRS provides relief for Helene; various deadlines postponed to May 1, 2025: part or all of 7 states qualify

IR-2024-253, Oct. 1, 2024

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today announced disaster tax relief for all individuals and businesses affected by Hurricane Helene, including the entire states of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina and parts of Florida, Tennessee and Virginia.

Taxpayers in these areas now have until May 1, 2025, to file various federal individual and business tax returns and make tax payments. Among other things, this includes 2024 individual and business returns normally due during March and April 2025, 2023 individual and corporate returns with valid extensions and quarterly estimated tax payments.

The IRS is offering relief to any area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Besides all of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, this currently includes 41 counties in Florida, eight counties in Tennessee and six counties and one city in Virginia.

Individuals and households that reside or have a business in any one of these localities qualify for tax relief. The same relief will be available to other states and localities that receive FEMA disaster declarations related to Hurricane Helene. The current list of eligible localities is always available on the Tax relief in disaster situations page on IRS.gov....READ ON:

We're frequently asked by Destination Marketing Organizations if they can swap out stock for our shows mid-season, because they don't get their latest travel guide delivered until Mar/Apr/May. The answer is YES! You are purchasing rack space, and we'll fill that space with your brochure or magazine in our store room at that time.

So don't hesitate to sign up for the first quarter shows if you have information to share, even if it was published this year. Wouldn't you rather get it in the hands of prospective visitors/customers than recycle it come March? Find the 2025 shows booklet online at

Dining (in or out) is a major component of camping trips. “Cooking Under the Stars: Enhancing Campground Stays with Memorable Food Experiences" is a new research study by Modern Campground supporting this statement. According to the article linking to the report, more than half of all campers leave the campground for meals, with nearly nine out of ten doing so at least occasionally. Despite this trend, a significant number of campers still prefer to dine on-site, either preparing their own meals or using campground facilities. Campground owners and DMOs, you have many options to provide memorable dining experiences at parks and local venues. What can you be doing to facilitate relationships between culinary and campground operations in your area? We're thinking food truck nights at campgrounds, or local chefs with cooking demos. Maybe special dining promotions off site for camping families. Hosting a farmers market at an RV park? A lot of ideas to float around and make connections!

A new report by Modern Campground and Cairn Consulting Group reveals that more than half of campers leave campgrounds for meals, presenting a significant opportunity for campground owners to enhance guest satisfaction through improved dining experiences. The study, "Cooking Under the Stars: Enhancin...
