If reservations continue to be the accepted practice for camping then the selected same shall remain the occupants year after year after year. Newbies will have little opportunities to find a campsite in the more chosen areas. Like having to be on a wait list for someone to cancel their time slot or rather their reservation to get a spot. Could take years as found in many boat marina slip scenarios. As RV ownership continues to escalate boondocking also will be more and more difficult as cities will stop allowing RV's to overnight inside city limits. Just don't see many new RV campgrounds going up?? Troubles ahead you think , price escalations as the supply continues to dwindle and phone reservation battles the first of every year.

OK, I'm one of those "I didn't read the whole thread type of guys".

Yes, I see it becoming harder and harder to find a place to go. The biggest problem in my area is that many "public" parks are now seasonal parks. People keep there RV's there year around. Why do my tax dollars go to fund a park for some rich person with there six digit RV to use as a summer home ?? The next problem is the parks that take reservations for every camp spot. For example one place I go takes reservations exactly 3 months in advance. So if I want to reserve a spot I need to get up at 12:00 am and be on-line on the day 3 months advanced to get a spot. My favorite places are the ones that have some spots reserved in advance and some on a First Come First Serve basis. Those are the ones I go to most often.

I do worry about the future . But, for now I just go camping and enjoy it.
