RV's verses rv & campsites
I am convinced there are 10 times more RV's and Campers than there are campsites in America. Every time I try try to make a reservation there are no vacancies ......

I think you all need to broaden your horizons and try camping in different types of campgrounds then you'll get sites.
Do you really need all the amenities that you're paying for? If not, try a plain Jane park with only the basics.
Do you need to be right next door to a popular tourist attraction? Move 20 miles away and you'll get a site.
Do you need to stay right in a popular city? Move to the outskirts.
Do you need hookups? RVs are self-contained. Try national forest camping or boondocking in the beautiful boonies.
Do you need a private park? If you enjoy scenery and bigger spaces try public parks: state, county city, Corp of Engineers, national forests.
Don't want to make reservations? Pick parks that don't accept reservations. They're out there - even national parks.
Try more shoulder season travel.
Try more mid-week trips.
It really is doable. We full-timed for 16 years and used all kinds of parks and/or boondocking. We traveled constantly and in Canada, the Yukon and Alaska. No problem for us without making reservations. If we have had to make 5,840 nights of reservations we'd would not have lasted 16 years! :)
