Michel, I recommend joining Harvest Host. They have a wonderful listing of free or cheap camping and boondocking spots.  We have visited several wineries through them. Great to stop and have some good wine and food after a long day on the road.

Hi Good Sam travellers. My wife Reta and I ( Bruce) are from Alberta and we're planning an RV trip through Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and Utah. Looking forward to the beautiful sites and staying mostly in State Parks.  I'm having some trouble finding info on State park camping and what is reservable or not.  Advice?

[DBYoung1]

If you run into booked of periods depending on the time of year…..there is BLM sites and Campdominium, all stays and the recreation.gov apps that can be helpful.

Excellent ideal thanks for sharing

Most, if not all states have a state park web site.  I have no experience at Federal parks as I’ve visited many , but don’t stay at them. Reservations and what’s available can be found at the state park web site. Your success in reserving a camp site will often depend on where, what time of year and even days of the week. Popular destination often require making reservations many months in advance depending their reservation system. 
To each his own, but we prefer private RV parks near an attraction, rather than staying at the attractions campground itself. 
good luck and safe travels.

I rely on a few books available on Amazon. There is Fed, State, BLM, COE and my favorite, America City and Town Parks.
