Re: Sites available if you show up at a park?
It's generally best to have reservations. I'd hate to drive all the way out to a park with all my gear, banking on the hope that someone cancels or doesn't show (but calls ahead, so the park knows their spot will be vacant that night.)
The closer a park is to a major metro area, the more likely it's going to be booked on weekends, especially in the spring and summer months. The state park nearest us, for example, quotes that their weekends book 2 months in advance. That's probably overstating things a little bit, but not by much.
If you cannot find a site via the online reservation method, it's best to call the park directly and see if they have a site. I've never camped without a reservation made before-hand, and if I'm in doubt about the online reservation system (sometimes it's down for maintenance, etc.) I call the park directly to inquire on if they're overbooked yet.
