Good online campground review website

The AllStays Camp and RV app. If a campground has reviews you can open that link and see a list of sites like RVParkReviews and others.

I'd trust RVParkReviews.com before Trip Advisor. We used RV Park Reviews for private and public campgrounds and the new format is super easy to get around. With any of them you have to weed the reviews out and take the average. Some folks give a bad review because the weather was bad. There is no one that is perfect. They're all subjective depending what you want in a campground.

X-2, I use Trip Advisor for Restaurants & such, but for CG's, it sucks, IMHO, I really didn't like the new RVParkreviews, until I used it a while & got used to it, now it's all I use, I've tried RVParky but don't like it as much as RVParkreviews.

I use rvparkreviews, the app rvparky (the 'near me now' feature is really nice when driving by a park), Campendium, TripAdvisor & Yelp. Doesn't take long before you recognize that different strata of RV'ers use the different sites. One thing that is very important to me is that rvparkreviews has declined to post a couple of my reviews of parks that are typically rated very high. I'm fairly prolific in my reviews. The declined reviews could have been posted had I made changes. In rereading them, I felt that they were honest straight forward reviews, identifying issues important to travelers looking for what I consider important. The declined reviews were published at all the other sites. Ironically, my most recently declined review of a park, one in the Pismo area, has received a number of 'helpful' votes from TripAdvisor.

Agreed. I use rvparky app when just "winging" it on a trip. I have had good results with it, but before I go out of my way, I will double check the website of the park, for example, to be sure all is correct. I also like freecampsites.net if I am just looking for an overnight. I have found some real gems using that site, and both apps will use your smart phone location to bring up a map with various options.

I like the new rvparkreviews format. It's easier to read, faster loads, and they post reviews very soon after posting. In fact I've been a member for a lot of years and now my reviews get posted instantly instead of weeks later.

Trip Adviser always felt clunky to me and we don't enjoy using it. Although I have used it to validate information I've found elsewhere, but it is not my "go to" site for travel info.

While RV Parky does have some good info a few camping areas I've looked at have outdated info as well.

Example: Casa Grande and Eloy AZ where we winter are showing names of some CG's that have not been updated...one that changed ownership in 2012. Wonder how many others have not been looked at and updated?

For us we like RV Park Reviews and Good Sams for more current info.

X2. This has become our new go to app for RV park reviews and for finding parks in a specific vicinity. With the phone app, once you locate the park you want, press "Directions" and it gives you GPS directions to the park. Very handy.

Thats about the only way I can get it to work for me. The search box doesn't help at all.

Ok. Thanks for the tutorial! Clearly I haven't been using rvparkreviews correctly. I'll see if I can do it how you've explained.
