No Reservations?
We have camped for years without reservations in the summer but I wonder what kind of luck I would have trying that now. What's your experience? We can camp during the week.

We have stayed in 21 different campgrounds/RV parks in 9 states since February 2017. Reservation policies run the full spectrum from just taking a name to charging the cost of the entire stay at the time the reservation is made. Likewise refund policies vary with each park from complete refund to no refund.trailertraveler wrote:
How about cancellation fees that can be 100% of the total for the entire stay. Some parks will only give credit for future stays which may amount to a complete forfeit of the deposit if one can not reschedule a visit/trip to that area. Every parks reservation/cancellation policy is different. For those travelling fulltime or for extended periods of time, extensive advance deposits can effect the budget. For these reasons we only make reservations that require advance deposits when we are reasonably sure that we will actually arrive on time and stay the planned amount of time
This is something I haven't encountered although it's not to say it can't happen. Currently, we camp at the same locale for at least a week and sometimes as much as 3 weeks.
