Many people use campgrounds just the way you describe, with no reservations (note: might be worth doing when you are passing through a really popular resort area on peak season weekends. You can always call ahead earlier that day.)

One thing to be aware of at generally low-priced campgrounds such as National Forest Service spots is that they may have a gate locked by 10 p.m., midnight, or whatever.
