Escapees Day's End Directory

Millie · RV-Dreams Family Member

Oh! You're going to love this site link, NW!

It has all the places on the map for Canada and the U.S.

When you see my demonstration of a map in this link, just click on the ALLSTAYS button on the upper left, and select you're own locations!

I started using Allstays last year while traveling. Good app when going down the road.

Escapees Days End I never bothered with, it isn't done by Escapees as an organization, rather a group of people started it to list their driveway, etc., and they maintain it. Though I find the Ecapees park directory only a little better, at least a few maps. Nice thing about Allstays is they list discounts available like GS, Escapees, PPA, FMCA, AAA, an so forth.

Hey! Yeah! ...the free campsites displayed on a map in "freecampsites.net" is GREAT!

I got it bookmarked now!

Thanks!

...I'm going on my great adventure by the end of this year!

ps ...Never mind about the waste of money!

...'everybody' gets a blow-out every once in a while!

I have friends who have found that scouting is required for the places listed in freecampsites.net, since the listings are not that good. They get to an area and then use their tow vehicle or tow car to scout the locations. Nothing like going 2 miles down a badly maintained dirt road to find the camping now costs money, is closed, or will only work for a van or truck camper.

I use Days End with a computer mapping program like Delorme Street Atlas or Microsoft Streets & Trips (no longer sold or supported) and download a map overlay from the Discovery Owners website: www.discoveryowners.com/cginfo.htm With the overlay every town which has a Days End location has a symbol displayed. I look at those towns I am passing by, in Days End, to see if there is a suitable location for me to overnight.

I have to say that I use Day's End as much if not more to locate interesting and out of the way places to boondock or camp for multiple days rather than for overnight stays.

Another huge advantage to the overlays from Discovery Owners is you can download overlays for Walmart's, Sam's Club, Costco, Flying J truck stops and a number of other overlays.

There are overlays which can be used on some GPS devices, but I have no experience with using them.

I don't know if you realize that there IS a map with Days End Spots on it.
I use it for exactly what you are talking about-looking for an overnight spot on my route.

www.daysenddirectory.com/Days_End_POI_Map.php

its not perfect, but its a help.
I also use Allstays mostly but Days End is better if I want a quick overnight and not pay too much.
