Another tip:
When I can't find a campground listed online for the location I want, I just turn google maps to satellite mode and fly over the area. Some RV parks and tent campground are not listed anywhere online. But they are easy to identify from the air. I look near lakes, or the outskirts of towns.
I also find boondocking spots from the air, all the time. Wide turnouts on forest roads, side branches that go nowhere, etc. Sometimes there is even a rig parked there :). If nothing else, I look for a tiny-town gas station with a vacant lot next door where semis are parked.
