Sometimes it's a problem like I'll have next year. I need to be in Omaha, NE the first weekend in May. I want to get to Yellowstone towards the end of May. But there are a lot of places I want to go to on the way to Yellowstone. I want reservations in Yellowstone, yrt I have no idea how much time i'll need to visit the Black Hills, Custer State Park in SD, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument, Little Big Horn, and Cody before getting to YSNP.

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?
