To the OP (doing laundry so I got time.)
True story:
There is one park that I always wanted to try. Seen it on this forum a couple of times. Every time I called they were full up for this year and for next. I called them for over two years.
I drove south and got into a park about 70 miles away from that park that was always full. DW and I took a drive to the other park and stopped in person an asked if they had an opening. The answer was "no we're all full up, but you can get on the day list."
The day list was for those that showed in person an if an opening came available they would slide you in. I told them I'm not driving my MH 70 miles only to be told no, only to drive the 70 miles back to the other park. She told me I could stay in the overflow (no hookups) lot. Great for how much? "free" she said, super for how long "as long as you want."
I drove there at the end of month, and they got me in that very same day. Lesson for me was a nice clean rig, cash in hand, with a friendly smile goes a lot further then just a phone call and research on the internet.
