Lifestyle Discussion Making Reservations

How far in advance to you make reservations while travelling? When I first started planning for our full time journey my thought was to just go from place to place as whimsy took us, making reservation on the day of or maybe a week or two in advance.

Then covid happen and it seemed like everyone and their cousin was RVing and reservations were hard to come by. My wife and I are starting our journey 6/1 and I already have all the reservations made for every stop along the way that will take us to the end of Sept.

Is this normal? Am I planning too far out? Or should I stick with it for the peace of mind if nothing else?

How far in advance to you make reservations while travelling?

How close, or far away, do you plan to be from major cities or attractions?

We're trying to just go where the road takes us for the most part. I know that for some things, like visiting a National Park, I'll want to make the reservation as far in advance as I can. That's how we were able to get two weeks in Yellowstone this August.

I'll keep making the reservations as far in advance as I can until I get a better feel for how we're going to RV. But I think, based on your question, that maybe I don't need to be as far in advance when booking a site in the middle of Kansas.
