We've been looking for a good paper/plastic Atlas for years, without much luck.
We carry an old Atlas that shows most routes, and most NPS, NFS, COE, and state parks - which is generally where we camp. It now lives as if it had a major highway accident - complete with taped up pages and small rips, a few missing pages. Not quite in a cast yet :) .
We use it as much as we can. But it forced Genie to learn more about her phone and mini-GPS on it while we travel. We supplement the map with searches on it, especially between destinations and looking for an overnight stop, sometimes using private CG's if no NP or SP nearby.
We haven't traveled much in the last eighteen months or so, but continue looking for a good national level camping Atlas. We like the size and feel of paper and a state-wide page instead of the pint-sized partial image on the phone. It's worked well for us over the years. We'll see what happens next trip out - wandering north to end in SC for family wedding in May ... Alot has changed since our last road trip of any distance.
