Title: When on the road
Post by: Donmystic1 on August 09, 2012, 09:24:34 pm
When you are on the road, are there any apps similar to "Trip Advisor " that you can down load to a Droid or Ipad that would give you the opinions of RVers re: campground facilities?

So that the co pilot could quickly look up area rv parks and see their ratings.

I find Trip advisor right on the money for the most part.

Not an app, but we use RV Park Reviews :: Home (http://www.rvparkreviews.com) to research parks (and write reviews of parks we've stayed at).

I have also been please with All-Stays Camp and RV. I used it to find distances to rest stops, camp grounds, Walmarts, etc. I just clicked on the "Reviews" button on the app on the iPhone. It brought up a browser with a Google search for the campground of interest. Getting reviews will probably require Internet access.

RVParkReviews was one of the search results from the "Reviews" button. It is my favorite site for finding campgrounds. I also provide feedback to the site.

Steve, Michelle and Jeff do well with those sites/apps. Besides restaurant reviews, http://www.yelp.com (http://www.yelp.com) also has RV park reviews. Just type in the city and RV park and the reviews come up along with a handy map showing the locations.
