Oh well. Someone else will be staying at my favorite site 4th of July 2016 but I did get my second choice. Such is life for the slow
Good grief .... having to get reservations NOW for the 4th of July next year!!!
What is this world coming too, anyway. :E
That's not my idea of "free an easy" spontaneous camping. I'll camp in my back yard, first, before going to those kind of reservation extremes.
You reside in the less populated West; I live in the more crowded NE.
NYC, pnichols is in the minority out West here. most of us are at the mercy of RA also. there is HUGE competition for campsites in California, Oregon and Washington.
can you find campsites, sure but you have to go where most don't want to camp. even weekdays can be gone 6 mths in advance.
for coastal campsites, all will be reserved within minutes of them becoming available.
we don't camp in the summertime or holidays because of this. we prefer spring and fall when the crowds are gone.
