Hey all! So I just purchased a Casita (straight off the factory floor, which is NOT usually my MO when it comes to vehicles, but they hold their value so well I couldn't resist). I pick it up in Texas at the end of July, and then I'm headed east to Florida to set up domicile and also wave hi to my family before I get back on the good side of the Mississippi. (Sorry, east coasters -- after living there for 25+ years, I'm over the humidity!)
However: I'm having trouble deciding whether I want to plan things out and make reservations or just wing it. I want to spend as little as possible on campgrounds -- which makes a monthly site rental attractive -- but I also don't know exactly what the rest of the year is going to look like. Also excited to suss out whether I prefer developed camping or boondocking, and hesitant to make too many commitments until I try out both. All of which is to say:
How do you guys operate? Do you boondock more than renting developed sites, or vice versa? Do you make reservations ahead of time, or go with the flow? How likely is it for me to encounter the worst case scenario and show up somewhere and have absolutely nowhere to park?
Thanks for your feedback, all!
