rv to alaska----- campground reservations

When we were young we never make reservations, and I mean never. But things are different now. Now I guess we just like the sense of security knowing we have a place to stay because we have a reservation. We have driven to Alaska twice and made reservations for each and every place along the way. That was difficult because many times the campgrounds were closed for the winter. But we were persistent with emails and phone calls and got it done. There was only once that we did not stay at a campground we had reserved but found a much better one nearby. As mentioned above you can get away without reservations most of the time, but not at Denali National Park or on the Kenai Peninsula during salmon runs.
