We always reserve for our destination, always.
Never for stops enroute. We have never failed to find an open spot when we needed it. We stop someplace where there is wifi mid afternoon and locate a spot. I don't think we have ever made more than three calls to find something.
I will admit that some of these places we end up are "interesting" and chock full of "colorful" characters, but for an overnite who cares.
Maybe if you are the kind that likes gated communities,security or judge your fellow man by his "accomplishments" and material possessions this may not be for you, but it works well for us!
