I think the only one we pre-booked was in Sussex (because we had to). We called ahead for Camping La Maillardière because it looked lovely and it was tiny and we didn't want to head there if it was full. (if you end up that way, go there. they were really nice. tell them the people on the tandem sent you).
Everything else, we would ride on until about 80k, then Rosie would google to see what was around within how far we thought our legs could carry us. The benefit of having lots of time this year was we were more than happy to stop early if we saw somewhere nice. Spain was a little trickier as things were slightly further apart so we tended to google in the morning and set a goal for the day around the 120k mark.
Hotels - Pamplona and Santander we booked a day or two before, everything else was a turn-up-and-try-our-luck affair, much like the camping.
