Should I make reservations or wing it?

Don't let others discourage your time frame. This is about you and your capabilities and wishes. There would be many of us that would never see the things we wish if we weren't willing to step out of the envelope. We all aren't blessed with retirement or weeks and weeks of vacation.
You obviously have picked your destination, so the path between is just part of that process and the things missed in between aren't part of your plans anyway.
We took a trip from Michigan to Yellowstone years ago over two weeks. It was a 4 day trip there and back. The purpose was Yellowstone National Park and Mt. Rushmore. Saw both at a relaxed pace. It was absolutely the best vacation we've had.
We drove between 6 & 7 hours a day. Based on that we knew approximately where we would be on the map around the end of the daily driving time. Looked for campgrounds not far off the freeway to stay at (many apps for this). Never made a reservation or had a problem. You might extend or shorten a little your daily driving to make a campground.
Traveling across our great country was a really eye opening experience any not one regret. It was beautiful to see the changes in scenery. Seeing snow covered tops of mountains off in the distance and we were still were day away. Just watching them get bigger and bigger until you get there. There's no words or pictures to discribe their beauty.
Have a great trip
