In light of the loss of life and property in the Texas Hill Country, the Texas Association of Campground Owners (TACO) will be reaching out to parks all across that area in the coming days to find out the extent of their damage, lost business or loss of life.
Additionally, TACO has established a GoFundMe to begin the process of accepting donations for those parks or persons in need.
The association started the fund with $2,500 and would appreciate any additional support for fellow industry friends as they climb out from under these unanticipated circumstances.
