We don't plan every campground when we have a flexible schedule, although we will reserve state and COE parks ahead of time as they are among our favorite destinations. Private parks are normally our last choice, having gaps where we can wing it allows us time to search for more ideal settings to RV. Even with pandemic still lingering we can find availability in a private RV park a few hours before we arrive. Kids back to school, summer heat dissipating, less crowding in tourist areas, sure sounds like a great time of RVing ahead.
