If you go here:http://www.gypsyjournal.net/ he has a listing of over 1,000 free or cheap places to camp. I think he sells it on a CD for $8 or $9. Well worth it. When I lived full time on the road in our motorhome I used his list a lot. I still get his newspaper. It is great!!

Posted another decent campground (Sand Hollow State Park) that can be used as a base for Zion National Park if the campgrounds are full as they are today. This one is about 30 minutes from the NPS entrance. More and more, I am becoming convinced of the advantage of staying in state parks outside of national parks and not worrying about reservations, traffic, etc; plus many like this one have hookups at nearly the same price.

Added another recommendation to the map (see link in initial post). When we were approaching Yosemite we called the NPS number for camping information and of course the campgrounds were full. When asked what our options were they suggested we stay at Oakhurst. We did that and stayed at an RV park called Sierra RV. It was OK but I have come to the conclusion that I don't want to be in any place that has RV in it's name. They cost more than I want to spend and look like RV parking lots to me. It was only 20 minutes more to the west gate so we took a ride and saw Saddleback camp 1.5 miles from the gate in the Sierra National Forest. We had been told previously that it was a reservation site and unlikely to have space. In fact it was less than half full and frankly a better campground that the ones in the national park from the standpoint of privacy and woodsy location. No facilities other than potable water and vaught toliets. We used this as our based for the next two days and it is a strategy that I would do again.]]> Fri, 24 Sep 2010 09:42:20 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1426&PID=12016#12016 Campgrounds, Boondocking, etc : Great idea!

Yes anyone can add to it. The bad news is it can be corrupted by anyone too and there is no easy way to keep it backed up.]]> Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:57:04 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1426&PID=11930#11930 Campgrounds, Boondocking, etc : Looks like a great start at a... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1426&PID=11929#11929 Author: techntrek

Looks like a great start at a map showing cheap sites. I only had a minute to look but it looks like others can add to it?]]> Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:38:08 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1426&PID=11929#11929 Campgrounds, Boondocking, etc : I added some pictures to the campgrounds... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1426&PID=11917#11917 Author: vandallc

I added some pictures to the campgrounds we have frequented so far. They were overnights only as we were moving across the country quickly to get to our daughter's house. All were nice; good but not overly exceptional. The best so far was Santa Rosa Lake State Park about 2 hours east of Albuquerque.

So we are on our way around the country. I am documenting our campground stops on this map http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=103091139456049256732.00048fc2c3ebc6f2f180e

Hopefully this link will work for you. When I have time I will post some comments and directions but they were all nice and each $20 with electric and water. Some with showers some not some hot some not.

This maps is made so others can add to it the same way I did. If it is something others would be interested in contributing to I'll post instructions on how to do that.]]> Sat, 18 Sep 2010 09:10:20 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1426&PID=11904#11904
