finding laundromats?

How do you find laundromats while on a long road-trip, mostly boondocking / dry camping?

I find they don't often advertise on Google for some reason, or they're not very common.

I've used the CG laundry in the past, but often they're small capacity machines, and doing several weeks of laundry is a great test
of patience... not to mention many many quarters.

No W/D in my tiny trailer.

  • My GPS (Magellan RoadMate) has a laundromat POI subcategory that seems to be pretty thorough.

    Searching on Google Maps for "Laundromat near " also seems to work pretty well, even if the business in question doesn't have a web site, at least around me here.
  • I found that every town has one even the little podunk towns. So where ever you decide to go into town for supplies there will be one.

    I usually just ask the gas station clerk when I am fueling, or grocery store cash register person 'they' seem to always know where the laundromat 'is' in town. :C
  • Good question. They're harder to find than propane. Often they leave signs up but are closed, not on GPS. Just have to look around or, heaven forbid, ask someone.

    I try to not let my laundry go that long! In a pinch I'll wash clothes in the shower.
