Good Low cost Camping Map Books for The West?

Slim pickings and it's only going to get worse as time goes on. Particularly if you are looking for free/cheap, those places tend to get shut down.

Also online sources tend to update frequently, so you don't wind up at a campsite that is no longer available.

Best bet would be to stop in the local tourist/chamber of commerce office and ask.

Thank you everyone. I will figure it out. I want to get away from the electronic life when I hit the road and escape. Something about the paper and turning the pages and a magnifying glass. Perking the coffee and cooking from scratch. Campgrounds so quiet, no worries about how far you get each day.

Good Sam Campground directory is like a phone book for rv parks, state parks, etc. for the entire country. I also carry a regular atlas. It has quite a few of the various attractions marked in red.

Many states still print vacation guides you can request online.

I entirely forgot the GS book, we used to get one every year. Helpful but a pain to use and only covers commercial campgrounds. A look at it tells you why there aren't any competitors, it must be close to 3 inches thick.

And I just thought of something, RV Trip Wizard is all on your computer, no internet needed and has thousands of camps not all commercial. Everything on Campground Reviews is in there. A great planning guide too.

I agree that finding paper books and maps is difficult to impossible. Thankfully I've kept most of the oldies I assembled beginning in 1978.

There are just too many spots to put in a book, none that I know of. There are state by state atlas books available but they aren't that good for picking out sites and cost around $15-20 each
Online is the only practical way.
Last thought once a good site is published, online or in a book it will be ruined by the flood of people.
