Editor’s Note: The following message is from the Texas Association of Campground Owners (TACO) and provides an update on the association’s efforts to support parks after devastating flooding occurred in early July.
First, thank you so much to everyone who took the time to donate, whether it was money or an in-kind donation. TACO managed to reach its goal in a single day and will be increasing the next goal so we can help as many campgrounds as possible. TACO has reached out to as many parks as we could and can report that it will be a long clean-up process, but folks are thankful for the help they’re receiving.
Speaking of which, if you are a campground that is in need and would like to be considered as a recipient for the TACO Relief Fund, click here to download the application now. Those can be emailed to Texas Campgrounds CEO/Executive Director Brian Schaeffer at [email protected].
Additionally, there is information on the password-protected side of www.TACOMembers.com when it comes to navigating FEMA, preparing for the next disaster and more.
We’re also working on several discounts and special pricing from vendors all over the country to help Texas campgrounds and RV parks get back up and running, and will be sharing those soon.
We’re also working on special pricing and discounts offered by dealers to those RVers who will need to replace their units. There has been no shortage of people willing to offer whatever they can.
If you’re a park that wasn’t affected but you’d like to help with accommodations for displaced RVers, you can let Lisa Rhodes know in the TACO office so we can post it on www.TexasCampgrounds.com.
Thank you again to everyone who reached out. You are a reminder of why this is the greatest industry in the greatest state.
