Well... Timing is important in life.. I would call the parks you plan on visiting, You can make reservations, up to 3 as I recall, up to 3 months in advance..

I would reserve for the Independence Day Holiday, and any other major holidays, WELL in advance. but on non-holiday weeks,
Call the park and ask the ranger what the odds are you can make your reservation when you are likle 20 minutes out.
Example.. I called ahead this year to let 'em know I was coming (I have the guard shack phone number) this was Thanksgiving eve... I pulled into a different park 3 miles from Church on Black Friday, and for pure logistics reasons spent 2 nights... Made my reservation on Fri or Sat (forget which) and drove the 20 miles to the park on Sunday.
I made my NEXT reservation here (Starting in 1 week + 1 day) from the guard's shack (Well She did it for me) I head back to the other park tomorrow.
Why change parks on Sunday?
Well, I will hook up the car this evening, do most of my "Take down" today, and Tomorrow morning drive the house, towed and all, to the next campground (The one 3 miles from church) drop the car and go sing in the choir.
If I switched parks any day other than Sunday that would mean 35 more miles on the car So it's 100% combining two trips into one.
