I had researched and planned the route and potential camping spots ahead, and was able to stick to most of it. It really was a help having preloaded routes in my gps so I didn't have to keep staring at s map while riding.
What kind of areas did you camp in? I've done state and national parks but I found the campgrounds were usually congested and in close proximity to each other. The exception was a secluded cabin that was part of a hostel on the Lower Fork River in Polebridge, MT.

Some were busy and some weren't. If they were packed, I just rode to a different one. Most were just a place to sleep, not necessarily camp with a fire and all that.
I camped at KOA in Amarillo. Archesview outside Arches NP.
Las Vegas at uncles house.
National forest campground on hwy1 by big sur.
Richardson grove SP by Garbarville Cali.
Goose lake campground Oregon.
Snake river oxbow Oregon.
Yellowstone NP.
State park in Wyoming.
Park in Capulin NM.
Some were great, some were terrible, but the camping wasn't much more than a cheap place to sleep. If you can't find anyplace when time to crash I've had recommendations to find a nice quiet cemetery and pop a tent on the edge of it. They are quiet and someone usually keeps the grass mowed.
Also, I'd recommend some kind of sleeping pad. I had an auto inflate air mattress that had enough foam in it that it was fairly warm (eventually)

I even made a few videos of the trip. They aren't much production wise, but they were fun to make and share.
If you do go, I found the planning and getting ready for it a hell of a lot of fun as well. Just make the most of it and get the biggest bang you can from it. You never know if you get to do this again.
