Depends on where you want to be, when you want to be there and with what type of park is acceptable to you.
We still both work and have limited time off together. So for us, reservations it is. We do not want to HAVE to park overnight in a parking lot somewhere because we couldn't get in anywhere. We also like to know what to expect when we get somewhere. As long as it's not a dump, it's clean and it's safe, then we are pretty much ok with it. We depend on reviews from others as well. If a bunch of people call it a dump, then I'm not going to even waste my time. I also don't want to spend half my day trying to figure out where I can stay for the night. All my plans are arranged before the trip.
Now as we get older, have no kids at home and can travel when we want, where we want and for as long as we want, then we will relax a little. We will still know where we are parking before we get there though. My boss is learning this now. Tried to get reservations for this weekend this past week for a couple places. Everything already booked up.
