Last week we visited Mount Rainier and stayed at the campground we thought was closest to the park entrance about 35-40 minutes away. As we drove there, I saw several tiny campgrounds with 4 - 8 campsites that we would have loved staying in.
I use the Allstays app regularly - they aren't listed there
I use Google maps - they aren't listed there
They aren't on my Rand McNally GPS
So where can I find these small campgrounds listed? Obviously some people know about them because I saw a few RVs camped out with full hookups. They have signs in front advertising them. Do you simply need local knowledge?
Google 'yellow pages' or 'Dext Knows' in the town you want to stay at. That is where I find them. Like the old days they still advertise in the yellow pages!!! Only now the yellow pages is on the internet.
And I am the one that is always saying the apps and park reviews don't have ALL CG's listed like so many think. And you 'will' miss all the small neat CG's if you limit yourself to those apps and reviews. :W
Oh and I set my GPS to alert me of a CG within 10 miles of where I am driving. I found some REALLY great CG's off the GPS too.
