While the Milepost can be very useful and informative, we found the Traveler's Guide to Alaskan Camping to be the bible for finding camping spots while in the Yukon or Alaska.
+2 for this book. We too found it much more helpful than the Milepost (which we did use also).
We only found it necessary to book a reservation at Denali. We were turned down at Whitehorse due to a large caravan had booked all the available sites and we had to park in a motel parking lot one night.
We would look at the Church's book as soon as we pulled out for the morning for a likely place to stop that afternoon. Only at Whitehorse did we have a problem.
As for the person asking about the roads....yeah, depending upon how rough the winter was, the only time you'll find all the roads in good condition is in September after they've all been fixed. Just watch for the frost heave signs along the side of the roads, watch for construction signs and keep you speed down with plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front of you. Many times we would only make a 100 miles a day.
