This was my thought too. I HATE making reservations on tour. I like being a free spirit, being able to decide that morning the next destination or maybe to just kick back and relax or stay put to avoid a rainy day. Reservations really complicates travel but I haven't camped out in 30 years, not too sure if I could handle it for 2 weeks straight.
