Hey, it's freecampsites.net, and it's an AMAZING site to find places to camp for free or cheap! I just planned a trip from Illinois to Idaho and it didn't take very long. Thanks for the tip!]]> Sat, 27 Mar 2021 18:26:38 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14478&PID=141106#141106 New R pod owners driving Florida to California : I second the suggestions already... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14478&PID=140933#140933 Author: EchoGale

I second the suggestions already given but also want to tell you about the Florida State Forest system (which is separate from state parks). I can often get last minute reservations in these campgrounds, but be warned many are quite primitive (some have no amenities, some have pit toilettes and some have campground bathhouses but read carefully so know now what you're getting. They're also really cheap (like under $10 night.)]]> Fri, 19 Mar 2021 15:26:10 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14478&PID=140933#140933 New R pod owners driving Florida to California : If you are planning to stay in... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14478&PID=140932#140932 Author: happurpal

If you are planning to stay in any state parks in Florida you need to book now, most are already booked. The keys are also booked out for next winter/spring. ]]> Fri, 19 Mar 2021 15:11:24 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14478&PID=140932#140932 New R pod owners driving Florida to California : I like and use: Allstays Pro,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14478&PID=140925#140925 Author: Olddawgsrule

I like and use: Allstays Pro, Gaia Pro, Overlander and Google maps (or Maps on iPhone). I hear Campendium is much like Allstays, I don't personally know..

As a Boondocker, I don't book ahead and it has always worked of pretty good. Timing is key, arrive near noon if attempting State or National Parks. Most times they hold back 1 or 2 sites as FCFS. Town & County Parks are usually inexpensive and some very nice. National forests are some of the best spots and you'll find several along that run.

I ran most of the Gulf Coast across this winter and found the Walmarts did not allow overnighting. They were always a great backup plan. Our favorite spot to camp was St Georges Island State Park in Florida. There is some nice free camping in Florida, but you will need to get a permit and pick you days. Most you can stay a week (or more) and being free, if you miss those dates, of well... beauty of free!

My husband and I are driving to Florida next January with an R pod 192 and wondering about campsites. We are from Canada and don't want to lock ourselves into a tight schedule. Any advice on finding last minute campsites? Also looking for recommendations for great places to stay. Thanks, Annette And Gary]]> Thu, 18 Mar 2021 22:47:47 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14478&PID=140922#140922
