Avoid making reservations that will keep you on a strict time table. There are so many things to see and do that it's hard to plan out each step of your journey ahead of time. Most RV parks do not fill completely and it's even possible to get a site at some of the most popular national and state parks because of cancellations.
Here are a few of my favorite planning sites:
