A simple search of thread titles for "C&O" returns 5 threads (in addition to this one) from this year alone. And you didn't ask only for personal experiences. You asked to be pointed in the right direction for information.
It is common courtesy to communicate what efforts you have made on your own so potential responders don't waste time and effort pointing you towards resources you have already investigated. It serves at least one other function, but I won't get into that.
In general, more details are helpful to everyone. For example, if camping is off the table, say that so people don’t waste time responding with campground information. The more effort you put into posts the more likely you are to get pertinent responses.
