It's nice in the US it seems many sites have "hike and bike" spots that are fairly nice that guarantee you spots. Canada does not typically have them - so on bike it can leave you in a tight spot during peak season.
I noticed on a road trip in the US through Utah / Nevada that despite National Parks are impossible to book. State Parks and BLM land was often convenient and had nice locations and were more low key. I typically find camping during peak seasons unenjoyable as my work is often unpredictable and doesn't allow flexibility and booking so far in advanced gives me anxiety and ruins the effect. I've had great experiences with wingin it during off season or midweek adventures though. Same with bike specific camping (1-4 days max) allows a bit more flexibility than large car camping trips. In a few pinch moments I've had folks offer private land for camping if you ask around a community nicely.
