Tell me about your planning process to book the best campsites- specifically National/state parks with hookups

Reserve America

Yes, recreation.gov for reserving most federal spots. Some NP have private vendor operating their campgrounds (e.g. You have to use https://www.xanterra.com/ for Yellowstone). Over here in North Carolina, our state parks use reserveamerica.com and many other states use it too. I've not had too much trouble with reserveamerica nor recreation.gov - other than some sites being tagged incorrectly (tent only but not really).

RV Park Reviews

As for researching campgrounds, campendium is good. I use rvtripwizard.com for planning long routes, and it's sister-site https://campgrounds.rvlife.com/ works pretty well.

Campnab

I am lazy and too cheap to plan too much in advance. I use services like campnab.com to alert me about available sites on a number of reservation systems. They are connected to reservation systems throughout Canada and the US. Also, there are other similar services. I'm not affiliated with campnab. I've picked up many a spot this way.
