For public campgrounds: uscampgrounds
For cheap private campgrounds for laundry and dump day: passport america
We typically look at our schedule in two month increments. For example, our recent two months were the southeast US. We decide the 'one thing we must do' during the two months. For me, it was the keys, for DH it was the leaves changing in the Smokies. Then we wing it but keep those two things in mind. I visited reserve america every morning, and managed to snag oceanfront campgrounds in Bahia Honda and Long Key (two weeks in the keys!) when someone else cancelled theirs. We got a creekside site in Smokemont for a week when someone cancelled their days.
Except for the 'two things,' we bounce around to where ever we find a campsite we like - on a river, on a lake, with a mountain view - in an area we would like to explore. I have a hard time staying in an unattractive campground squished in like sardines so we tend to spend most of our time in state and national parks.
If you get the chance, Utah is very much worth your time, if you haven't been there already. In Arizona, check out the Cottonwood/Sedona area. If you go down Phoenix way, try Usery Mountain Park or Lost Dutchman State Park.
Have a great trip! Four years ago, DH and I bought a 22' tt to see if we liked rving. We loved it so much, we sold everything and are now full time. I hope you enjoy your travels just as much.
