If you know when you are going to be somewhere, what is the problem with making a reservation? It is not like you are just going to stumble on to either of those parks while just be-bopping down the highway. With Yellowstone, many of the campgrounds start to close down in September. Even though there are less people, there are also less sites. If you get there and there is no room at the inn, it can be 50 or more miles to a park with availability In the summer I have seen the park where we stay telephoning other parks looking for a vacancy for a last minute guest needing to go out nearly 100 miles before finding said open site. You will probably find a site with little or no notice, but why chance it?
