RV's selling like mad, population is expanding like mad, and campgrounds are not. Seemingly every family has a camper of sorts these days and the Campgrounds are filled to capacity months in advance. In some cases you need to make a reservation a year ahead of time. Look out Wally world soon to be your problem.. I see more and more signs that say no overnight parking..but not sure if that means no unattended vehicles and just disclaimer that we can tow your car. I have even seen some folks unhitch , slides out and go sightseeing for the day. The day is coming = No mas !!
I interpret no overnight parking to mean attended or unattended.
No way I'd camp during high season's weekends or holidays w/o a reservation. In most of the coastal areas it sounds like a recipe for disaster complete with in-vehicle snark about who planned this trip, LOL.
Since we are semi-retired and live in a temperate zone, I find it simple to make reservations far in advance and just as easy to change 'em as needed.
Most people with small children around know the school and work schedules and can plan in advance as well.
I suspect I'm used to planning certain aspects of my life out and am not a true spur of the moment person on this level.
