Yes on camping... I also realize we may have a tough time making reservations. There are lots of campgrounds that aren't well known about which may be a good option for us. The problem being they're likely rustic campgrounds... read as no showers. I've seen signs for camping right along 250, also.
Also, I'd be willing to do whatever... if we needed to get a hotel, I'd be good with that. I'm not afraid to ride out on the fly... without reservations anywhere.
