Interactive street/topo maps, and GPS/mapping data files - free
This
site provides what we believe to be the most complete and geograpically
accurate US & Canada public campground locator in
existence. Includes all National Park, National Forest, State Park and Provincial campgrounds;
BLM, TVA and Army engineers campgrounds; regional, county, city and utility campgrounds.
We include
only public car-camping campgrounds with 5 or more campsites
and
tables and toilets (not
backpack-in, boat-in, horse camps, dispersed or group camps).
We do
not include privately owned campgrounds. Read our FAQs
to
learn more about the data, accuracy, usage and precautions.

QUIZ: What are the most common campground names in the US? Answer.
WHAT'S NEW:
* We have a new page that facilitates printing of large-area campground maps to take with you.
* We are (gradually) adding much more "amenity" info, including RV hook-ups and max vehicle lengths, during Spring/Summer 2010. See the legend below the map for amenity codes.
* Name labels now have a suffix (* or -) to indicate hookups or not.

Map Usage
Drag
the map (below) to the region where you want to camp then zoom in
(zoom-bar or double click). It will load (from the center crosshair
out) all public campgrounds in your window up to a max of 35. (See
legend below map) Click on campground symbol for more info and for
links to information, phone numbers, reservations, etc. For
a topo map, zoom in tight and
switch to "US/Can My
Topo" in the upper right corner of the map.
= US National Park (NP), Canadian National Park (CNP), National Forest (NF), Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
= Corps of Engineers (COE), Tennessee Valley Auth. (TVA) 
=
State Park (SP), Canadian Provincial Park (PP), State Forest (SF), State Rec. Area (SRA) 
= County/City/Regional Park (CP), Authority (AUTH), Utility (UTIL), Reservation (RES) or Unknown type (blank)- CAMP* : If the name label is followed by a *, it has RV hookups (at least electric). If it has a - , it has no hookups. If blank, it means we dont know, use one of the links to get this information.
- PHONE NUMBERS : We usually provide two numbers: 1) for the campground itself 2) for reservations. For NF, we often list 2 campground numbers: District office (try this one first)/Forest office (try second) - these are offices, not at the campground, so call before 4:30 PM.
- EL = elevation in feet
NOTE: In all cases, if there is no mention of an amenity, it doesn't mean that it is not there, it means we don't have data about it. Also, some campgrounds listed with only "E" hookups may actually have additional hookups but we don't have specific data about them.
- RV HOOKUPS: NH=no hookups; W=Water; E=Electric; S=Sewer (shown as E, WE, or WES)
- RV SANITARY DUMP: DP=dump; ND=no dump
- MAX RV LENGTH: 32ft=32 feet (may not be very accurate-call ahead)
- TOILETS: FT=flush; VT=vault; FTVT=some FT, some VT; PT=pit
- DRINKING WATER: DW=drinking water at campground; NW=no drinking water(bring your own)
- SHOWERS: SH=showers; NS=no showers
- RESERVATIONS: RS=reservations available; NR=no reservations available
Needless to say, this all takes countless hours of work and dedication to the goal of a complete, accurate and well-mapped public campground directory. In spite of our many efforts, we know there are errors still in the data and we deeply regret any inconvenience these may cause you. We too have driven around tired and lost late in the day trying to locate a campground and we do not wish it on anyone! We hope this data leads you in your travels to just the right spot at just the right time - always.
Please tell us of any errors or omissions you find. Be aware that some of the campgrounds may not be open at all times or may not accomodate your camping vehicle, so call ahead if possible (we provide phone numbers direct to the campground in most cases).
