We've found this summer while on our trip in the New England states that reservations have been necessary. For real vacation destinations (Bar Harbor, for example), reservations 2-3 months out were necessary. We waited until a couple of weeks out for some destinations and couldn't get a site where we wanted, so had to find a place a little farther away. It really depends on where you're going and what time of year, or if it's a holiday.
When en route, we don't make reservations, but will call ahead an hr. or two before arriving. It occurred to me that we'd need a place for 1 night in Brunswick GA on our way home, and it would be the Friday of Labor Day weekend. It's a really nice place with easy on/off I-95. We've stayed there before with no problems calling an hr. before arriving. Because of the holiday weekend, there are no sites. So, it really does depend on when.
