Hey Guys, This is probably a silly question but how do you pick the RV parks you choose to stay in while on the road? There are so many websites I am never quite sure which to look at? Is there ...

We mostly rely on Woodalls either the book or online. We belong to Passport America but have found thier member CGs are not too plentiful on the routes we have taken. Only once in 4 years have we found one campground that was in the areas we visited, therefore the membership was a flop (in our opinion).
Some of the other suggestions are great but I'd say the best is word of mouth. Ask other RVers for good campgrounds on the routes you will be traveling either while you are traveling or on this forum.
Another tool that is great and we recently used this past summer is Google Earth--we spent a week in Huntington, WV. We have been there many times and found Fox Fire (a KOA) and one other CG not to our liking. So we found a small CG with an airfield that offers skydiving right on the Ohio River but between the River and a railroad. It concerned us so we went to Google Earth and took a real look at it. Only by seeing it and talking to the campground staff did we determine it was a great place to stay. The railroad had very few trains and the airfield was only busy on weekends.
From now on if we have the time to search we will look in Woodalls then check them out on Google Earth! If you have a personal recommendation too...you can't go wrong.
