Reservations or not
So we are leaving on our first multi state trip driving from Illinois to Bozeman MT. We made reservations at the end stop but don't know about making res. for the overnights on the road. Not knowing...

By far, my preference would be to wing it. In fact, pre-kids, we never made reservations for our camping trips.
Now, with kids, I feel more of a sense of responsibility of ensuring the family can rely on accommodations being available upon arrival. Plus, it helps mom and dad maintain their sanity not having to search for a campground after many hours on the road. Some high traffic locations (California beaches and others) would be nearly impossible to find a site without planning ahead.
Still, I look forward to winging it again in the future.
