My family and myself are planning a trip from CA to TX this spring and will be driving there and back with the truck and camper.  We'll be staying along the way in campgrounds and national forests.  I'm wondering if there's a book or phone app that shows all the campsites for a given area.  I don't know how far we'll be going each day and not sure of the route, but we'll want to be able to find a campground near where we'll think we'll be ending up for the day.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks

My favorite is http://www.ultimatecampgrounds.com/

$4.99 for the phone version. 

 

But https://freecampsites.net is interesting also.

www.forestcamping.com provides a description of all National Forest campgrounds sorted by NF unit and by state.  Includes directions from highways to each campground.

We learned about http://www.allstays.com from Bill Harr and a few others on this site several years ago, and have had very good luck with that app.

x2 on the Ultimate Campground App.  It has a wide variety of NFS, BLM, county, utility, state, etc sites that are easy to filter down to the type your looking for.  Just wish it had an option for using off-line.  I guess you could take a screen shot of the areas your interested in

I just downloaded the ultimate campgrounds app and I do like the layout but it lacks most private RV spots which are nice to know about in a pinch, especially in large cities.  The allstays app is much better all aound but I think I will keep the ultimate campgrounds app as well because I think it has some public campgrounds that the allstays doesn't.

I don't have the mobile app, but the Ultimate Campground website has the most complete list for the USFS areas I am familiar with.

We used several sites on our last Alaskan trip.

The one most helpful is Campscout.com.

Has a large menu of camping places and most have pictures and good info.

It worked great for us and help us find some less used places.

Also you might try DirtyDogs  CampingUsa.com site

You might want to check out www.iOverlander.com as well.

We most often use campendium.com for both campgrounds and boondocking and also take a peek at ioverlander.com
