Tough question ! We did a 2 month trip in 2014 and made reservations for every night. Decided it was not needed because every park had empty spaces. Reservations kept us on a schedule that we wished we could have varied a bit. Similar trip in 2017 with no reservations . Had to change route constantly because all parks full !! I would advise make reservations at most popular areas and then wing it. But be prepared. Have a great time. Looking forward to our next western trip in 3 years.
you did this in the summertime and on the West Coast?
X1, Doing a RV trip on the west coast in Calif.,Oregon,Washington without reservations would be like throwing a "hail Mary" pass with 3 seconds left in a football game!!! I am always a little confused when I hear RVers say " but reservations will restrict and lock me into a set schedule which will not allow me to change my plans as I am traveling". Reservations are RV plans to deviate from. Your cell phone is the "KEY" to control the restrictions and loss of ability to spontaneously make changes in your RV plans;):):) You have everything to gain and nothing to loose by making reservations!!!
