Carlos Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Or even just nearly all? Every app or planner seems to have some parks, and then miss any others. I can't even really find the pattern. Right now I'm planning out a cross country trip in March with a stop in Austin for a few days. The Good Sam planner doesn't show even ONE park or campground in the whole Austin area, and miles away. So I jump on to Apple Maps, and they show around ten in Austin. Kinda ruins the usefulness as a planning app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2gypsies Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Not sure what you mean about Good Sam not showing parks in Austin and area: https://www.goodsam.com/campgrounds-rv-parks/search/?state=TX&city=austin&zip=&name=Fun Town RV Park at WinStar&goodsam=0 There are many, many references for campgrounds/RV parks and none has them all. Smaller towns even have awesome city and county parks and they're not listed in all sources. We liked RVParkReviews.com which gives some feedback from those that stayed there. You have to weed out the excellent ratings and the poor ratings to get a real feel of the park. Everyone doesn't like the same type of park and some folks complain about things that others would find no problem with.

Carlos Posted January 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 That's different from what shows up in the trip planner, so thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailertraveler Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 I have not found one website or app that includes every campground. I use a computer based mapping program for planning. I have downloaded campground data sets from sources such as the POI Factory, Discovery Owners Forum, Ultimate Public Campground Project and USA Campgrounds. When we encounter campgrounds that are not on any of those lists, I add them to my campground POI database. Programs like Copilot, Garmin Base Camp and Microsoft Streets and Trips can display these POIs. POIs in GPX format can be download to and displayed on Google Earth and be added to a Garmin GPS unit.

dewilso Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Not gonna happen, everyone has their own favorite app, and contribute updates to that app. We then end up with 2 or 3 (or 5 or 10) incomplete sources.

whj469 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 We have yet to find one that includes all or most all of the RV parks. We use Good Sam, Escapees, RV Parky and several others. No matter which one I use I can't find an RV spot in SW Florida for a month during February and/or March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 The USA Campgrounds app linked above has been awesome. I bought the computer version and the phone version both. I'm currently replanning my trip using it and it has so much more than the GS planner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
