How to Find Parks?
We are kinda new to the RV camping thing and was wondering what ways everybody uses to find campgrounds when they are traveling? Are there certain websites or just mainly googling? Thanks

It depends on what type of campgrounds you want to stay in. We prefer State and Federal Campgrounds because you are not packed in like sardines and you get to have more of a wilderness experience. Many of them have hookups. Sometimes just electric,but other also have water and a few have FHU. But we get by very well with just electric.With our holding tanks and by managing water usage we can go 5 days without dumping tanks.Federal parks include Forest Service,BLM,Army Corps of Engineers (COE)and National Parks.Most of the COE campgrounds are on lakes.Many have sites right on the water so if you like to canoe or kayak you can launch right from your site. Also these state and federal campgrounds are cheaper than commercial campgrounds. With the Federal Senior Pass ( must be 62 or older) we have paid as little as $7.50 a night for a site with water and electric. Or $19.00 a night for electric and water lakeside. Plan where you would like to go,then search for state or federal campgrounds in those areas.
