Chat up the locals for where to go and what to see

Whenever you enter a new and unfamiliar area, after you've settled into your campsite, take a walk through the park and look for local license plates.

Look especially for plate holders from local RV dealers, which may indicate that the owner is from that part of the state. When you find one strike up a conversation and ask questions about the area.

Most people (RVers are people, too) like to talk about their local area, and you will likely come away with  restaurant recommendations, scenic attractions, unusual or quirky venues spots, and maybe even some good boondocking locations. Locals can produce information and often steer you to places you won't learn about at the visitor center.
