A thought just occurred to me: We've been camping for over 50 years. We always left after work on Friday night and parks didn't accept reservations at that time. We always got a spot. How on earth did we do it?
I think a lot of it depends on where you go camping. There are some places I don't worry about reservations, I know there will be campsites available. There are other places that I'm not going to get into without a reservation.
Back before internet, most campgrounds were first come - first serve. That meant folks weren't reserving campsites 6 months in advance, booking 2 weeks for a single weekend's camping, booking an entire summer of camping at once, etc. I also think folks weren't as particular about what campsite they got.
