I take it, this must be a Western thing, as I have no problem finding a site around here, except on Holiday weekends, and it is easier to find a spot during the week than on weekends, for the popular destinations, at certain times, you absolutely need reservations.
Here in Michigan campgrounds here are still full every weekend after Labor day. Halloween marks a drop off.
Yes you can get "a site" without reservation in the off season, but likely there's something wrong with it. Muddy, no view, too close to the bathrooms or too far, etc.
