There's still plenty of fall camping activities and special events available to campers at campgrounds and RV parks in the West, even into early November.

"There are scores of family oriented activities and themed weekends stretching well into fall," Linda Profaizer, president and CEO of the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds said. The organization hosts an online booking Web site at www.gocampingamerica.com.

But travelers are also discovering that some campgrounds and RV parks have on-site restaurants where the food is so good it's worth the drive just to eat there.

"The campground industry is clearly evolving when it comes to food service," said Linda Profaizer, president and CEO of the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (www.gocampingamerica.com).
