Reservations - 5 to 7 day minimum??
We are starting to make reservations for our end of July first of August trip in New England. This year we are encountering many campgrounds responding that they are now only accepting 5 to 7 day (...

Yep, seen reservation restrictions like that a time or two. Mostly at big resort type parks located in high $$ tourist areas (beaches, etc).
Never been a problem for us, though, as usually if we're staying at parks like that, we're reserving a stay at least that long if not longer, anyway.
As to traveling without reservations: To each their own, but we would NOT do that. I'm not using up a bunch of $$ on fuel and vacation time without knowing I'm going to have a good site when I get to my destination.
Many of the places we camp, without a reservation, you'll either get turned away and have to find somewhere else to stay, or you'll get put in the less desirable sites that nobody else wants. No thanks. I'll leave those sites and that uncertainty for those that don't plan (and call) ahead.
