I noticed on the Coulter Bay website that they don't take reservations. How do you folks handle that? What do you do if you're in the middle of nowhere with no reservations and nowhere to stay and the closest Walmart is a hundred miles away and it's pitch black outside? I don't want to sound like a sissy, but where do you put a 45 foot motorhome and toad?
Colter Bay 'campground' does not take reservations for its 300+ sites. The Colter Bay RV next door does take reservations.
During our full-timing we have stayed in Yellowstone and Grand Tetons (among many others) and have never had a reservation. Some campgrounds in the parks don't even accept reservations and that's where we head. We stay nearby the previous night and drive to the campground early morning when folks are leaving. We always got a site with our 40' motorhome. One time we even pulled into Madison campground which does take reservations. We easily got a site because every day there are cancellations. We find it more pleasant to not be tied to reservations...but that's just us. It can be done. :)
