Finding camping spots

I just google the town near where I want to go. the town / city always has a link to lodging. The good CGs are on there. You can also just google CG near where you want to go. Works great

Agreed.

After google the town you can also find the county that it is located in. The county websites sometimes have a list of local campgrounds too.

One of my favorites is Uscampgrounds. Pretty complete and accurate info.
We prefer state & COE parks and this is pretty comprehensive.

We prefer State and Federal Campgrounds. I will go to a state park's website to locate them. A good resource is Trip Advisor for campground reviews.I also use campgroundphotos.com to see pictures of the sites.

I use the free app, RV Parks (park advisor) and pretty much nothing else. I never look at our big Directory any more. Almost all campgrounds pop on a map including national sites, county and city parks if you zoom in close. We've found campgrounds along routes we've traveled for years and never knew they were there.

Good Sam find a campground - it has very recently been improved !

Look on Passport America !

RVParkreviews is very good.

We also just ask here on Open Roads! Usually someone will have recently stayed wherever it is you are thinking about.

Also, state park websites. We have almost camped at all the Connecticut state park campgrounds - amazing how many there are that I never knew about. This probably goes for all the states... you might be amazed at what is right around you.

I like AllStays app if you are looking in an area on their map -very handy. Small one time fee to buy the app. You can filter out what you don't need, or be sure you have the ones you want like state parks, etc

RVParkReviews.com is free and has also been a mainstay for me for researching comparison details including other campers' opinions and they have upgraded their format in recent years.

For national forest campground this site is awesome:
