I use Good Sam to find RV parks to stay in for my business trips.

I started realizing that there are a lot of parks that their service does not show me.

Is there a more complete directory that I can look to that Good Sam?

The one I've used for years is a sister site to iRV2 that used to be Campground Reviews. It's now Campgrounds.RVLife.com and has real life reviews by people that have actually stayed there. The great part is it can be searched by area on their interactive maps.

Like Lt Dan also use Campground Reviews
Pick the state/pick the area--town/check out the Numerous CGs and reviews from actual campers

I use Google to find parks in an area and then Campground Reviews.

I use this one Lt Dan, plus http://campendium.com. Both are very good.
Thanks,

Not sure how you plan your business trips, but RVLife.com has some other great tools that you can use not only to look for and see reviews from RV’r, but RVTrip Wizard is also part of RVLife.com at a great price. You can plan your Trip, find the campground for your trip and find closest park to you destination. It also includes other tool that I find very helpful.

I use a combination of CG sources. RVParky is the first stop. Allstays tends to have more town parks & such than RVParky. Campgroundreviews is OK but is missing many of the lessor known CG. It is good for the reviews for CGs listed however it is disappointing at how out of date so many are, or simply no reviews listed. No fault of the website. I fault people who can't be bothered to leave a review.

Sites with reviews are only as good as the people who make the effort to leave a review.

No one site has everything so I've found it best to check multiple sites. Good Sam is fine if you want to stay at only GS parks. I start with RVLIFE Campgrounds & back it up with Campendium. Campendium has a lot of the boondocking & BLM sites...especially out west. When I find a park listed on Campendium that isn't on RVLIFECG's, I report that to RVLIFECG's so they can get it added. They're usually pretty good at getting them listed within a couple days.

Bottom line, use multiple sources, & even Google Maps to view optional routes.

That site is now bookmarked, thank you.
