i don't know about the rest of you,but when we travel we unplug.we also stop in at the visitor info place,of which there are in almost every town, in bc anyway,and we ask them about local attractions and campgrounds.also stop in at the local fly and tackle shops and outfitter shops.they know the best spots for camping/fishing and hiking/biking.sometimes it's just better to talk to people face to face.i should note that we rarely book a camping spot ahead of time.we're more the explorer type of campers.
That's us, too!
Major state welcome centers usually have brochures for camping spots. Texas has a great booklet for public camping - some listed that you would have a hard time finding online.
Local small town visitor center will have the information.
Many times the online stuff isn't as good as talking to people in the area. You find out so much more - unique restaurants, a hidden waterfall, etc.
That's why we travel the secondary roads and can really experience the local area.
