Description: It is all here, on one map and at your fingertips: All 13,000 US and Canada car-accessible public campgrounds, with accurate lat/lon for your GPS or smart phone, campground amenities, phone numbers and web links for both the campground itself and it's reservation system. Includes all National Park, National Forest, State Park and Provincial campgrounds, all BLM, TVA and Army engineers and military-only campgrounds. Most regional, county, city and utility-owned are also included.We include only car-accessible, family campgrounds with 4 or more campsites - whose existence and location we can verify. We want to be sure you find an actual family campground when you drive there. (no backpack-in, boat-in, horse camps or group-only camps). Some selected "boondocks" (no facilities), (we call "dispersed"), are included. We will tell you if you need to take a ferry or if a short walk to the sites is required. We do not include privately owned campgrounds.
Copyright Text: Tom Hillegass is a retired engineer living in Alexandria, VA. He camped with his wife and kids for 40 years all over the US and hasn't stopped yet. Many data sources were used - the majority of the coordinate data was obtained directly from Federal, State and Provincial agencies. Much of the campground descriptive data comes from State/Provincial Park web sites and National Park, BLM and COE web sites. Supplemental coordinate data came from on-line topo maps, Delorme Atlases and from GPS/POI coordinate files developed by individuals and posted on the Internet. There were serious locational errors in all of these sources and so we independently verified the location of all the campgrounds against on-line topo maps.
