Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

What resource do you use to locate campsites when you are on the road? We are heading out in a couple of weeks, and plan to go, then when time/fatigue dictates look at what campsites are coming up and then see if we can get a reservation (and boondock if not).

What are your favorites?smile

We use Trailer Life as a general guide, but rely mostly on the reviews in RV Park Reviews. They are current, not reflective of advertising and are from real time users.

A good way to find some off the grid opportunities is to simply Google "campgrounds near Alexandria, VA" for instance.

Good luck,

RV PARK REVIEWS.com

I've found it to be very reliable in determining what parks are along our route and which are good ones to stay at.

Trailer Life is our main resource. We also look for SKP (Escapees) parks as most allow drycamping for $5/night.

I would not have a problem with Flying-J for a quick overnight stay but so far the timing hasn't worked out for us.

Rest areas are not ok for us, at least for catching some sleep. They are usually in a remote location with no security. Someone up to no good could hit you and be gone in a minute. We never feel safe in a rest area.

And we don't do Walmart...the more I read about them the less I want to stay/shop with them. Some allow campers and some don't (and the number who don't is gradually climbing). Others allow campers, but the local ordinances prohibit sleeping in your vehicle so you get the knock on the door in the middle of the night telling you to move along.

Mostly rv park reviews.com, Passport America web site, and Escapes web site or book. In the preceding order.
