well 1st we figure where we want to go, look at a PRINTED map of the area and the area to transit. Then will go to the net to see what they recommend. have looked at several different sites to include good sam, cracker barrel, just use you search engine of choice to find one. Then will use the navigator to take us to areas not familiar with but do use just a normal one set for truck. mainly the navigator is to get us to a particular address. This summer stopped at taos NM visitor center asked about a destination we wanted but was not on the navigator menu/memory. the clerk was no help, but we did find a street address in the state tourist guide and plugged it in to the nav and off we went. It has not lead down any wrong ways or dead ends (used to be an issue for them) but new ones are a lot more reliable but as in the last reference it did take us to a 2dary entrance. When all else has been done then go to a website such as this and ask about specific places. Still rely on maps for initial and sometimes roadway info so we carry an rv atlas from camp world or one from wally world. I also use KOA's so I will usually pick up their latest campground guide for reference.
BTW forgot to include, we very seldom if ever 'reserve' camp grounds unless it is one where we know it could be crowded. Gives us more flexibility and we are not driven to reach anyone place on a schedule.
