Nearly 50 private campgrounds and RV parks from San Diego to Crescent City plan to offer two nights of camping for $50 on the first weekend of October.

“Our members offer this promotion to boost shoulder season camping and to entice consumers who have never camped before,” said Debbie Sipe, executive director of the California Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds, which organized the promotion.

Parks that are participating in the Oct. 1st to 3rd promotion can be located through a special section on the association’s website at www.Camp-California.com. Simply click on the $50 weekend link on the lower left hand section of the home page to find listings of parks offering the $50 promotion. Here’s a sampling of participating parks by region:

A FORMER air traffic controller has decided to spread his wings — by trading in his plane for a motorhome.

Bob Woolford has traded-in his Piper Cherokee aircraft for a Romahome motor caravan, made in Cowes, thanks to a deal made by Romahome sales staff.

Bob, 57, from Bembridge, almost gave up flying when a runaway plane struck him five years ago, causing serious injuries. He soldiered on after recovering but now his wife, Margaret, has decided she does not want to fly any more.

Bob said that with fuel costing around £2 a litre and his Piper Cherokee getting through 38 litres an hour, it meant his aircraft was becoming too expensive to run.

But his Romahome should go much further for the same money, making it easier to see the world.

He said: “When I spoke to Andrew Harris at the Romahome Centre in Southampton, I said I would do a deal for a new R25 if he would take my plane in part exchange. Within half an hour he was back on the phone having found a buyer, to provide me with the deal I wanted.”

Andrew said that during several years in the motor trade, he had never been asked to part exchange a plane before.

WEST GLACIER, MONT. – Campgrounds at Glacier National Park begin transitioning to primitive status in early September. When campgrounds are in primitive status NO water is provided. Any water taken from streams or lakes requires treatment before use. Primitive and winter front-country campgrounds include pit toilets, no running water and only a limited number of sites.

Winter camping is available at St. Mary and in the Apgar picnic area from December 1 through the night of March 31. There is no fee for winter camping; however, a valid entrance pass is required.
