Since I'm traveling solo, I don't need a campground with playgrounds, mini golf and child oriented activities. I look for ones close to a major highway, if possible. This provides easy access for exploring and for leaving. Cell coverage is strongest near the major roadways as well. Once I have the area narrowed down, I then look at Passport America parks, Good Sams parks and State parks. The Northeast states have some good websites of campgrounds but usually they are only campgrounds that have joined some organization. New York has great state parks but usually only offer electric sites, which is fine with me. I don't need sewer connections because I'm moving about every 3 or 4 days. I also use Google Earth a lot. I can search for campground through Google Earth but it gets confused and will bring up city parks also. Once I have a couple prospective campgrounds in mind, I'll use Google Earth again to zoom in on the campground to see what it looks like and hopefully it will have a street view as well. I also use the Campground Review to see what others think of the campground. <br />All in all it is a crap shoot to find a good one. The one I'm in now is a KOA and I chose it for it's location and Wifi. It was also in the direction of Bangor, Maine. <br />I'm answering quickly. After thinking about it some more, I'll probably make a post with a more detailed answer.<br />Thanks for your question.Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634892792170572719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1092960427378302566.post-45397214034565810622014-06-11T21:41:33.676-05:002014-06-11T21:41:33.676-05:00Darrell I've enjoyed your post; great to see s...Darrell I've enjoyed your post; great to see someone traveling around and enjoying their 5th wheel. I'm planning to retire in the next year or so and start my traveling. I'd like to ask how you choose your campgrounds?Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771063107859269374noreply@blogger.com
