We spend a month every fall going to places we've never been and then a month at the beach in SC. In the spring we again spend a month finding places we have never been and then stay at the beach in SC till it's warm enough to open the pool at home. We always stay at a park, never a parking lot. We have at times pulled in to a park and then left without staying. Without reservations you get to stay longer if you like or leave if you don't like.
