RV friendly parking web sites?

I know we have web sites to help find camp grounds, and web sites to help find dump stations, but are there any web sites that help finding if points of interest or dining establishments have RV parking?

This seems like the kind of thing people traveling by RV would want to know, stuff like does the worlds biggest ball of twine museum in the town ahead have RV parking, or hmmm I am in the mood for BBQ is there any BBQ joint along our path that has parking for a 38 foot RV, ....

As a pilot looking down at the earth is pretty normal, and you see a LOT of things you'd never see from the ground.

I do the same thing with places I'm going to take my motorhome, except I use Google maps satellite view.

It's also a handy tool to scope out boondocking spots.

Isaac,

There is a bunch to work with, start at:Free Campgrounds – Advice about free and cheap RV camping
RVParky (RV Parky | RV Parks & Campgrounds Directory, Reviews, Photos) is good on both a computer and as a paid app on smart phones.

There used to be a lot more available as overlays for both Strips and Treets and Street Alas, both are now out of print and there is no overlay capability for any of the onlines (RV Tripwizard, Google, AAA or Furkot) that I have found.

Good Luck

Frank

That would be a helpful list! Kind of like Mileposts for the lower 48.
My contribution would be: Interstate 95 - VA exit 130 (Spotsylvania) to US 1 South - KFC and McDonalds have RV/Semi-truck sized parking. Parking at the McDonalds puts you in walking distance of Subway, Chipotle, BK, and local mexican, chinese, and italian cuisine. Also a Walmart on this exit and a truckstop.

I would guess most RVers get to their campground and then explore from there. I'd hate to rely on a parking place for an RV at a popular attraction.


Restaurants are easier as you're doing the daily travel, especially if you travel secondary roads. There's always parking in smaller towns - perhaps not in front of the restaurant or in their lot but we never had to walk far from parking places.
