All the planning has turned into a real chore, and I'm getting tired of trying to figure it all out. We have camped before, but never for this length of time, and usually just go and find someplace on the way to stay.


I was wondering if any of you full timers travel this way, and if so, how difficult was it to find campgrounds to stay without planning more than a week ahead. We will be traveling from 3rd week of December thru end of March, so probably peak season down south.


I'm thinking about joining Thousand Trails, and specifically would like to know of your successes or failures in finding a spot with minimal or no reservations with Thousand Trails. Info about last minute check-ins at non-Thousand Trails campgrounds also would be appreciated.

We aren't set up yet for boondocking, so we need full hookups.


Thanks in advance for any feedback you can give.
At the moment I am planning a one year trip around the USA and eastern Canada (I live in BC). The trip will start July 6 2021. Although I am planning for each day, I will not book anything until much closer to the time. I only travel 240 to 360 miles per day (4 to 6 hours) so it is easy to reroute to another spot. Also we will have 600AH of Lithium by then and and over 1,300 Watts of solar plus 2 2,000 watt inverter generators so can boondock for a week or more (limited by 40 gal black tank)
Wouldn't touch Thousand Trails for all the reasons mentioned in numerous posts here.
