rv to alaska----- campground reservations
My wife and I plan to rv to Alaska this summer. I have questions about making campground reservations. How do I make reservations if I am not sure exactly what day I might arrive? Driving from Houston...

10 days from Houston to Alaska? Driving? Suggest taking 9 days to drive to Seattle then fly up!
Just kidding....Have made the trip 2 - 3 times from Houston and 2 - 3 other times from near Dallas. The Dallas based trips were 20? 30? years ago and involved lots of hours behind the wheel and little sleeping time. Shortest IIRC was 6-7 days...and that was tag team driving with a college buddy. Most recent trip was at least 7 - 8 years ago and in the winter but IIRC it was a somewhat leisurely 7 days to Seattle (yes.....kind of sightseeing on the way) then 90 - 100 hours pushing pretty hard to Los Anchorage....all those trips were in everything except an RV.
In an RV if it's meant to be vacation, I'd suggest 2 weeks at a minimum and would not recommend any reservations unless you're going to be at a popular spot on a holiday....but full disclosure, other than a few weekend trips, I've not driven an RV much around Alaska.
