Any experiences/recommendations for a pc based mapping and trip planner with references to CG's along the way?

In addition to the Discovery Owner's Form already mentioned by Matt, you can download Points of Interest from the POI Factory, Ultimate Public Campground Project and U.S. Campgrounds websites. There will be duplicates but each database will have some that the others do not.

For finding places of interest on the fly on the internet I use:
National Parks,
National Wildlife Rufuges,
State Parks,
Scenic Byways,
National Historic Trails,
Legends of America,
Roadside America,
Ghost Towns,
Slot Canyons,
Pow Wows,
Flea Markets,
Rock Art,
Native American Ruins,
Factory Tours,
Waterfalls,
Scenic Railroads, State Fairs,
Lighthouses,
Breweries in the United States
Wineries in the United States,
Trip Advisor
State Tourism Websites
Frommers Guide
Fairs and Festivals
More Fairs & Festivals
Scenic USA
Road Trippers
We also stop at Visitor and Welcome Centers, hit the brochure rack at campgrounds and ask campground staff and locals what to see and do. One of the links above is to the State tourist bureaus of every state. You can request information from them and often download a digital copy of there tourist information brochure(s).

For finding campgrounds on the fly using the internet I use:
RV Park Reviews
Passport America
Allstays
RV Parky
Woodalls
Free Campgrounds
Free campsites
U.S. Campgrounds
National Forest Campground guide
Ultimate Public Cammpground Project
Corps of Engineers Campgrounds
In my experience no one of them lists every campground.

If you are specifically looking for free/boondocking sites, checkout these websites:
Bob’s Cheap or Free Campgrounds
Dean’s List
Boondockers Welcome
Harvest Host
Two other sources that are for sale are:
Days End Directory
Don Wright’s Guide
