I love travel trailers, but they are not quite as suited to spontaneous travel and camping as something like a Class B or Truck Camper. Travel trailers require much more parking space for a museum visit, for instance.
There is still lots of open space out West. One tip is to simply "Go where they ain't". In other words. Don't expect to get a great spot at a popular park over a holiday. Visit a few weeks before or after the rush.
Also, make sure that you can dry camp for a couple of nights in your new camper in case the park is full and you have to park in overflow while waiting for a spot. That also allows you to enjoy some boondocking or dispersed camping. Have fun and welcome to the party. It is still great.
We all have our opinions I guess. We have been rv’ing over 30 years and still love it as much, or more, than ever. Well said by above post that using common sense will help. If you don’t have to be in the main crowd on a big holiday, you will be fine. Some nights we have no plan and park wherever we can find. For long, preplanned stays, yes we book a few months ahead. Get off the beaten path, avoid interstates when possible, and you will be fine.
If you think rv’ing is a crowded way to travel try hotels.
