What apps, websites, strategies, et cetera, do you guys use to find good campgrounds?

I’ve been looking into trying a short camping trip just sleeping in my car, but I’ve found it difficult to find good campgrounds through a couple of apps I’ve tried (I haven’t put that much effort in however)

Mainly curious how people with actual experience go about it before I start really looking on my own.

I live in the southern United States to be clear.

If it's marked on a map I consider it a bad spot. I just browse terrain maps for nice looking locations and then hike there to see what it's like in person. If there are signs of other people having stayed there in the recent months then I go somewhere else.

Admittedly I have the luxury of free to roam laws so I can camp quite literally where ever I want.
