Are you talking about the GS Camping app?
If so I have no problems with battery drain and no running in the background per your instructions on how to check.
I just used it and it loaded some data (so the app said) and did a search for nearby camps.
All is good here in the Good Sam and Apple world.

I phones handle apps running in the background completely differently than Android. Apple apps are more or less "Put to sleep" until they are needed. Android Lolipop uses a different system.
Most apps in Android are "constructed" correctly to utilize batt resources correctly within the Android system. The GS app apparently is not.
