I use www.mapquest.com and or www.googlemaps.com

Look up campgrounds on www.woodalls.com and pick a couple with the amenities I'm looking for near the stop. (sort results by distance). You can also search for amenities like pet friendly.
Look up those 2 on www.rvparkreviews.com to make final choice.
Once I get the address, I program the Rand McNally GPS. Once you program the GPS you should double check the route. I use the Rand McNally Walmart Atlas. Get a new one every year. Well worth it.

Shortest route will usually take you on back roads. Fastest will take you on interstate or US hwys.
