How far do you post in advance?
Just wondering, is there a waiting list on campsites in areas? How far do you plan in advance? Is it all a logistical game or do you fly by the seat of your pants? How far do you plan ahead?

Where are you planning to go? In Florida, below Tampa is preferred for warmth but there are plenty of openings above Tampa.
There are places around Gulf Shores, Alabama, including Gulf State Park which is very nice. About 10 mi. north are plenty of parks.
Louisiana and Mississippi are much cooler in winter and they're really not snowbirding destinations so there are plenty of available sites without reservations.
Texas - around Fredericksburg and San Antonio you'll find sites and also as you go further south. In winter you don't want to be further north than San Antonio.
New Mexico - even the southern part gets cold and windy so you'll find plenty of sites open.
Arizona - Winter areas start at Benson along I-10 and over to Tucson then up to the greater Phoenix/Apache Junction area then as far north along the Colorado River up to Havasu City and south to Yuma. These are winter areas. Don't plan any further north than Phoenix - too cold. No problems getting sites without reservations except for some 'resorts'. Lots of boondocking on BLM lands in Arizona and southern California.
Basically - you can travel without reservations easily except deep south Florida.
We love Arizona winters - sun daily! Even with our 40' motorhome we traveled without reservations.
