Thanks for the tips. What are the COE and CG though. I have tent camped at several state parks, and your right they tend to be better than crammed in sites. |
COE = Corps of engineer's CG= Campground (typically as a commercial/private/state)
I've yet to find a app that covers everything.. If you do, please share.
* My goto app is Allstays. Has quite a bit of free and pay-for sites. * My second is now GAIA maps (I bought in for 4 yrs on sale). More of a Overlander or Boondocker app * The new one is iOverlander. Kinda on the Freecampsites.net style, yet seems updated better and has some spots not covered in either above. I find both GAIA and Allstays covers what Freecampsites.net does (with current reviews).
My main system is to find areas of interest with Allstays, then dig deeper with GAIA and check iOverlander for anything different.
I don't have Google Earth anymore and know several folks use it quite a bit. I find GAIA just has so much information. Land boundaries (private/public), Topo maps (including NatGeo), MVUM's (motor vehicle usage maps) and it now includes Canada's Backroad Mapbooks (I go into Canada quite a bit and that was the main selling pint for me). It does have a bit of a learning curve and I'm still learning on it.
I will add looking at National Forests, they are one of my favorite places to stay.
CP's (Community Parks) are hit or miss, yet most I've stayed at have been pretty good (services go from none to full, costs go from zero to $25 being the most I've paid). I've only stayed at one COE that was crap.. Yet to their benefit, they are fixing the place. Typically a nice CG with ranging prices and services.
I've stayed at a few State Parks in the Mid-South heading eastward. Being as kind as I can be.. I'll avoid them from now on down there. Figure there must be 'some' nice ones.. I just didn't stay at one. I'll Lot-dock first..
