Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to tie unbiased RV camping
reviews to specific sites on a map. That is what we thought and decided
to create it. We wanted a way to look at a specific area or places
along a route that would be good for a nice camping stay. We are
particularly interested in free boondocking sites. This map points out
spots that RV bloggers have described. They usually describe how to get
there with descriptions/photos of the site and area. Many reviews
describe activities to be had in the surrounding area. Sometimes the
points on the map only point to a general area and you may need to do
more investigating to find the RV site.
This map identifies many"boondocking" type sites that are free or low
cost. Many sites require "dry camping," but many non-boondocking sites
are also included. There are lots of great site reviews done by
bloggers. We concentrated mainly on western USA sites in California,
Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico. We are using Google
Fusion Tables to generate the map.
Fusion tables can be a little flaky at times, so be patient. You might
have to zoom in and out to find what you are looking for in a particular
area of the map. Locations are approximate. Costs to camp are
sometimes guesses, as details were not readily available for all sites -
call the site manager for details. Some sites offer many rates for
different type sites, such as RV electric sites or monthly rates, for
example. Check the reference link for more details.
How to use this map:
Green dots are free locations. Purple/Blue dots are low cost ($16 or
under per night). Red/Pink are over $16. Click on a dot and you will see
reviews of the site/area. If you are interested in the area, make sure
to explore more posts from these bloggers. Many times there are
multiple posts about an area in each blog. People tend to stay in an
area for a few days and thus write multiple posts. We link to the posts
that are the best representations for a site and
area. Note that site/area information may have changed from the time of
the original posts. Call the area manager to verify specific
information.
If you know of a good review of a spot you love that is not on the map,
please comment with a link to the review and we will likely add it after
we review it.
