How can I travel without making reservations
I am new to camping. I have a 22 foot trailer and plan to tour the western U.S. I would like to be spontaneous, so I have not made reservations at any campgrounds. I am now worried about getting a cam...

I travel 3-4 weeks at a time, most of it in "the West" relative to your starting point, and don't usually make reservations.
But I don't go on the three big summer holiday weekends. I don't try to be at major events like races, ballon festivals, air shows, annual fairs, rodeo finals or biker meets. I try to make may visits to "must see" tourist destinations during relatively slow periods.
If you want to be at a high-demand location, or at an event that fills all accommodations, you need a plan, and that usually includes reservations, either by yourself or with a group.
At "events" quite a bit of what is available is already booked by commercial or club affiliated group travel operations, and to be there it is easiest and often least expensive (because they've bought in at a fraction of "rack" rate, let alone event rate) to join the group.
