Icons depicting public campgrounds will show up like pins on a map. In a column to the right of the map, you'll see campgrounds listed in alphabetical order corresponding to the pins on the map. Clicking on a particular campground in that list will lead you to a website with additional information regarding that campground. You'll find both developed and undeveloped campsites that are available.
Public (government) parks mentioned above will generally offer a better daily rate than commercial parks, but usually have a two week stay limit. I've only found a few that permitted a monthly stay. If you're going to be in one area for a month, it will be cheaper to get a monthly rate at a commercial park. Travel safe and enjoy.
