Camping with no reservations

We've been camping for over fifty years. Never make reservations and have always found a site when we need it. We usually spend only a few days in each, visit the sights and move on ... state to state across the USA. We camp in the shoulder seasons, not summer, and for several months each trip depending on weather. We live in Florida at the moment, and our trips usually cross country, sometimes south, sometimes north.
We are in a truck camper, and tow nothing.

As a general statement, would those of you camping now or in the next couple months think we can continue this type camping, with no reservations and still find spots here and there as we have been in the past? We generally use NPS, State Parks, COE, but are not immune to use private for a night or two, but not resort type CGs, we are just two, all kids are adults and no longer accompany us.

We know the virus has impacted camping, but are just looking for general "Fullness" of campgrounds, and the potential for one or two nights patched in as we travel.

The big issue to your question is where and when do you want to RV camp. Different states, areas have their high and low seasons based on weather and the number of RVers. i.e anywhere along the west coast in the summer time is highly populated and without reservations you will have problems finding RV parks. This idea is the same for every state.
Personally,IMHO, making reservations ahead does not lock you into a set schedule, you can always call and change or cancel your reservations. Just be sure to check the cancellation policies for each RV park. You have everything to gain and nothing to loose by making reservations ahead and you avoid the possible frustrations and worry about finding an RV site every day.
