I wonder if there is a market for fold up state maps like the old road maps that show all campsites. State parks, county parks,National and federal parks, Military fam camps, private and membership parks. All campsite both pay and free all on one large fold up map. Then you would not have to look all over hell and half of Georgia to find a camp site near where you are going to be........The camp ground guides today do not list them all .....I have driven by and near camp sites that I did not know until later was there....

We have a paper state parks camping map from California. Every time we need it we can’t find it so we go old school and find the information on the internet.

Who would do all the research? How much would it cost to produce? Most folks appear to be happy with the Allstays and/or RVparky apps. Or various web sites. I know that I do not normally look at “all campgrounds”. In many areas there are so many that it is almost impossible to find one without filtering out some types. Then there are the increasing number of ‘RV Resorts’ and other names that do not want nightly RV stays. If you are not planning on a minimum of one or three months, they don’t want your business. There are at least nine of those on the east and north sides of Lake Lavon near Dallas. Only the two oldest are found in some guides. The others want to stay out of any list. Frankly I haven’t seen but two new RV parks open in Texas in the past three years. The other couple dozen I’ve seen open are all permanent residence focused. They are really mini-mobile home parks.

I use allstays.com and ask it to map all campground in the state. I do use the computer more than a paper map. We do keep an atlas also.

likely by the time you collect, plot, print and distribute the map at least some of the information would be out-of-date. did you know that the Trailer Life directory has such a map for each state in the book. it doesn't purport to show ALL campgrounds and RV parks but it does show most. that and/or smart device apps are about as good as it's gonna get.
