Fresh air, blooming flowers, chirping birds, sunshine... Folks, it appears that spring is here to stay! That also means it’s time to get outdoors. Plan your next adventure, pack up your RV, and head to one or more of the United States’ beautiful state parks.
Happy Spring,

| State Park Loyalty Program Savings
On your next visit to a U.S. state park, ask if a loyalty program is available. Many state parks offer programs for guests to earn points. Think of this like a rewards card to your favorite grocery store — simply swipe a card or keychain at checkout. Here are a few examples:
- Georgia – Earn 10 points for every dollar you spend at state parks. Redeem 3,000 points for a free campsite stay.
- Ohio – Earn 20 points for every dollar you spend on overnight lodging, day-use facilities, and retail/rental items.
- Virginia – Earn 20 points for every dollar you spend on campground, bunkhouse, cabin, or lodge reservations.

Don't Want To Bug You...
DIY Bug Repellent
With all these outdoor activities you’re jumping into this spring and summer, you’ll need some bug repellent to go with them! If you prefer the all-natural route, check out this recipe for Homemade Bug Spray from Dr. Axe. Follow his guidelines to make a Lemon Eucalyptus version that is a substitute for spray with DEET. Make sure to reapply if you’ll be outside longer than six hours. And here is a link to FMCA's DIY Pinterest board, which includes links to more homemade bug repellents. Happy exploring!
