On the road, on familiar routes we plan our trips to stop at the places we already know and like.
In a new area, we'll look at places a couple hours forward in the Trailer Life directory, but often just stop at someplace we spot along the way. My experience is maybe a third of the RV parks out there are not in anybody's directory, but that's not the whole country, just the middle. So the criterion is essentially "it's here, I'm here, and I'm ready to stop for the day." It is just a few hours, to hook up power and sleep, I'm not fussy.
For destination camping, several days stay, might refer to RV Park Reviews, but much of my destination camping is not in RV parks, rather at public campgrounds on lakes and reservoirs, or state parks at historical sites. Ambience is usually quite different from RV parks.
