You weren't just lucky! ALL CG's save a row of pull thru's for RV 'travelers'.Once I found that out I don't even make reservations. I pull in. The next day, if I like it I ask if I can stay a few extra days and have always been able to. Then if I REALLY like the CG I ask if they have any longer term reservation cancellations. That's how I find my long term winter stays going on 6 years now.
Tight spacing (inches from your neighbors when the awning and slide-out were deployed), no sewer (but their facilities were 1st class...as were their prices)

My first trip down to Florida that is what I found. The almost ALL of expensive resorts/CG's have you parked in like sardines. Along with the highest prices.
My first trip I reserved ahead of time and when I pulled in and saw how tight there were all parked I drove right thru and out the other end to find something better!! And BTW they take pictures for their websites during off season so you can't really see how tight they will be parked when full during the winter season.:(
I don't mind paying higher CG rates but geeezze the small RV sites are just awful. I didn't buy an RV to travel and see the country and 'have' to park in any place that tight for the nights.
I found with a little bit of time on the computer/phone you CAN find small CG's surrounding those big sardine ones that DO have spacious sites and reasonable prices netting a better experience over all.
