Tips from Mark Koep from Campground Views on finding places to stay:

• Open your horizons - be willing to try new places and be more flexible with times. 
• Understand your fellow RVers buying habits - many RVers book more than they need and cancel at the last minute. Often you can find what you want at the last minute. 
• Have lots of options - know the places you want to go within an area.
• If a place is critical - make reservations well in advance.
