RV association
Why with all the RV's being built and sold and all the tv advertising to take to the open road little to nothing is being done to build more campgrounds to use them in. Especially in the south...

What I would like to see is some minimum-liability-way for private owners of land to open it up for short-stay RV drycamping at, say, $10 per night for up to 3 nights.
We need safe and quiet drycamping spots to quickly squat for a day or two within a few miles of major routes and don't really need or care for over-nighting in over-crowded $$$ FHU commercial campgrounds. We also don't care to drive miles into the countryside in the afternoon of a tiring day of travel in order to try and find a public land drycamping spot for only one night - as beautiful and inexpensive as they may be.
We even sometimes stop at commercial FHU campgrounds and ask for a spot back in a corner with no facilities and at less $$ than their regular spots.
I guess the above is what safe and legal-to-do Rest Stops could provide - if safe ones weren't so rare and if they were along more state highways instead of primarily along only the Interstates.
Nearly every farmer or rancher in the country has what you are looking for, as they do have places for harvest crews, family. They do not have a sign on the highway. You will have to search in unconventional ways. A call to the local farm and ranch supply may do it. You may be parked by the pig barn with 15 a power, or by the orchard with 50a fhu, by the scale house at a grain elevator sugar beet processor or any other business that requires many employees short term in season Think Amazon off season.
You have to find these, there is no guide except maybe Harvest Hosts.
Or ask any industrial construction worker whose been there. Expect it to be like Gumps box of chocolates.
