Places to stay

[Buster52]

I am planning on a long bucket list trip to put together. I am looking into buying the program at Over night RV Parking com. It looks like it would be useful. My question is, is it what they advertise, is it up to date and is the data base large. They say they have around 10 to 15 Elks Lodges out of the hundreds of Lodges. No Moose, VFW, American legion, Eagles, or Masonic Lodges. I wonder what other useful information it has or is missing? What do you thing of the program.

Thanks

Buster

Without seeing the program your talking about, I can't tell you anything about it. But I have collected the books or web site info the organizations have made available. The books and other info is nice to have but often contain errors. So what I did was put together my own list. And it takes some time. The way that I put a list together was searching online. There are several resources for this. One of the best is rvparkreviews, just plug in the state you're interested in their search bar and presto; you'll find many of them. Not all. Go thru the state you'll interested in. Then change the organization and go the states again.
As far as the books or web site info the organizations produce.

I have all of these. They come with free updates. And I received free replacements when I lost them because a computer crash.

Overnight parking I found to be a waste

This is one of those lists built from reports by the people who use it. An Elks lodge won't be on the list of providing RV parking for members unless a member reports it.

Although there may be accommodations for visiting members at some facilities of other fraternal organizations, most do not have programs for membership RV parking in the same way that the Elks do.

Some hospitals, police stations, city offices will allow overnight parking if one asks. Gas station owners will accommodate sometimes in the midwest and on the plains, to the extent that independent operators still exist with all of today's convenience store chains. Yet I would not expect any overnight parking list to have found them all.

You will find the same with commercial RV parks. Overall, the parks in available listings probably represent less than half the locations that have at least one or two spaces to rent out overnight. RV sites in mobile home parks and at hotels are common, but few RV park listing services will list them, because they do not meet minimum standards for a listing or expectations of RVers who buy the listings.
