With all that said.....as a full timer, you'll have plenty of time to plan ahead and book spots that may be popular. As we travel in areas that ARE NOT destination spots, finding a campground is pretty easy. Again, as a full timer, you can often stay a few miles farther away from the popular places and commute.
