It depends on where you are going...if you call sometime around noon, you can usually get a spot where you plan to stop that day.

The time of year matters, weekday vs. weekend matters, popular vs. unpopular destination matters.
If you are going to a popular place at a popular time, you better have reservations.
If you are just running down the road between 'here and there', there's often no need.
AND, the call ahead at noon (or even later...DEPENDING) suggestion is excellent too. Our very first RV trip, our first night out was a comic tragedy and after 1.5 hours driving around we found a motel!
