I'm looking for a campground atlas like one my parents used to have and am not having any luck. Basically, it showed a map of a region, with numbered dots for all the campgrounds, then on the opposite page it had a chart with campgrounds listed down the side, amenities listed across the top and dots showing which campgrounds had which amenities.

I am a newbie needing to find campgrounds near art shows that I will be working. I have the Trailer Life book, but what I'm finding is that I have to Google map the art show, then go through the listings in the book and Google map each one to try to find the closest campground. There must be a better way. Good Sam shows maps with locations and so does KOA, but is there one book that shows them all on a map?

thanks!!

When we went to the TN GTG I used Streets & Trips on my laptop. Pick the town you want and look for nearby places. I chose campgrounds and it would show all of them within the radias of the town, then I would look them up on the net to get more info on them. Worked for us, hope that helps you. I never liked the Trailer Life Directory, found it too confusing.

Thanks - so far I'm not a fan of Trailer Life either, and I'm finding out that every website I checkout that has a map shows some of the campgrounds, but I haven't found one that shows all of them. This is getting to be a lot of work, trying to find campgrounds in specific locations.

When you find it, post it here...I'd be interested too!

I wholeheartedly agree with Vickie (did I say that? I can't believe she said something I agree with??? Well, something intelligent, anyway...) on Streets & Trips. It's ALMOST perfect for what you want. Let's say your show is in El Paso. Right click on El Paso, define the maximum radius (say within a 10 mile radius of El Paso), voila - up pops anything you've asked the program to look for (including campgrounds). You can search most any type of restaurant, gas stations, many categories to choose from. I use S&T in conjunction with Trailer Life DVD and my Garmin GPS.

Good luck.
