The only trouble I have with finding campsites is that some don't allow my dogs. I just go elsewhere.
Here, in Idaho, there is so much forest service land that campsites do not fill up if you are willing to drive the dirt roads to get to them. If you need water and electric hookups, then you are limited. If you are set up to dry camp, the world is your oyster. I pull into a full service campsite only when I need to do laundry, dump my waste tanks, fill my fresh water tank, and take a long shower. Then I'm off again into the dispersed spots.
I have never camped in the eastern states, so things might be different there. I can tell you in Idaho, eastern Oregon, Nevada, the CA desert, Utah, and Montana, there is no shortage of campsites if you are willing to go without hookups.
DW and I have two long trips in the lovely state of Idaho. Last one we put on 3000 miles and never left the state. Since it was September, the wx was hot and cold, changed daily. So, when it was hot up the mountains we went, when it was cold, down into the valleys we went. We stayed in many forest service cg’s, usually alone. Counting the few regular cg’s, our camping expense was under $8 per night average and never stayed in a Walmart. Love your state.
