I'd say the planning won't restrict you too much. I usually scope out places to stay in towns along my route. I've never had to make a reservation, I just roll into town, find the place, and set up camp. If you like someplace and want to stay a few extra days then you can.
You'll get lucky, too, and find places along the way you wouldn't have known about.
One time we found a decent place unexpectedly that turned out be real nice. Imagine a west Texas windstorm... blowing us all over the road, when we see we're coming into a little town. We see one of those signs indicating an RV park at an exit and pull off. We find the place and pay like $8 for a site (with cable TV even), get set up and voila! Ten minutes after I tell Sarah I'm just gonna pull over and wait the storm out, I'm sitting cozy in our camper watching HBO and partaking of adult beverages...heck, we even had pizza delivered to our trailer...rockin' good times...
