Camp ground books

Can anyone tell me what are the best books for campgrounds to buy and the best clubs to join?

  • Google....in search, put in RV Parks, (city), (state). Then do RVparkreviews on the ones that looks the best for that area. I found that was a LOT more reliable than any book.
  • The main directory is the Good Sam's

    Good Sams Directory

    This is a huge book. Like a major city phone book, if they still had phone books.

    Probably the two most reasonably priced 'clubs' are Good Sams and Passport America. Some people find them more useful than others.

    There is an indispensable website:

    RV Park Reviews

    You'll get user reviews of RV Parks all across the country. There are other more specialized sites too.
  • Books? Nobody uses books anymore. Everybody either uses one of the smartphone apps (actually, any Android or iOS phone, tablet, or iPod Touch) or they use one of the web sites that lists campgrounds. Much more practical. There are several free ones, but I recommend the Allstays one, which is not free, but has a LOT more information in it.
  • If you are a AAA member, they no long write their own camping guides, they pass out regional Woodalls.
