LOL! "In the beginning" we mapped our trip with Streets and Trips; and made reservations using a combination of the Good Sam campground book and RV Park Reviews. We found some beautiful RV parks that way.
Then we went to Alaska. Since there's not many routes or available campgrounds, you take what you can get: some were nothing more than a gravel parking lot with a power stanchion. I remember one "bath-house" was a converted cargo container with a pallet floor. Whatever - you still get just as clean.
Since then, I've found that making reservations ahead of time is good if you want to stay someplace spectacular/popular/elegant/easy-in, easy-out. We have downsized considerably (converted Transit cargo van) and since we fit just about anywhere, we just wing it. I have an app called Allstays that will find us a place to overnight - and remarkably, some of these little out-of-the-way RV parks are the best fun!
