Far easier to do a search on the internet and get more up to date info with links to the actual park and an aerial view to see what it really looks like.

At best, you are targeting dinosaurs who refuse to use better resources and they are a dying breed (actually in a littoral sense as it's mostly old folks not comfortable with technology).

I always have to chuckle when people write stuff like this. Especially the last sentence.

Did you ever consider there is still a good use for a paper source, like the lack of cell service?

We took a 21 day "on the fly" trip last summer. In other words we made no reservations, or even much campground research, in advance. We had no idea where we would be on any given day in advance. We just went.

There were many times out west when we had no cell service, and hence no internet, when looking for a place to camp. We used the little campground symbols on the spiral-bound road atlas we had more than once.

Something the OP is talking about with a greater amount of campground information would have been useful.

While such a compendium might be useful, it would be financially untenable. The cost to obtain all the information plus the cost of publication, plus the cost of distribution and marketing is very high. The market would be a small subset of the relatively small RV owner universe. Just not that many people would feel the need to pay for a book that would at best supplement their current research methods (internet, GPS devices, currently published directories etc). Dividing those high costs by the actual number of books that could/would be sold would make the price astronomically high. There used to be several different guidebooks published. Now there is only the one published by Good Sam. I doubt the others went away because they made too much money for their publishers.
