Advanced trip planning? Yes or no?
We hit the road full-time last July with almost nothing of a plan. It worked because we stayed away from tourist spots. Also late summer/fall is sort the end of the high season for most campgrounds....

we limit our reservations to places that are heavily visited...like yellowstone, custer state park, yosemite, grand canyon, etc.
if you don't need full hookups, there are LOTS of campgrounds to choose from.
if you stop a bit early...like 3 or 4 p.m., you will find better sites to choose from.
if you are not absolutely against overnight stops at rest areas, walmarts or flying j truck stops, etc. then you're free of the worry of not finding an acutal campground for the one night stay.
This is about the extent of our planning too.
We also do a lot of dispersed camping on public land.
