Best App

I had four other apps loaded on my phone, but this one app can do it all and provides great links and directions. This is the only app I use to research campsites and trails!
Love this app!

I travel without a definite plan fairly often - a few hours before I want to stop, I use Park Finder to look for a place to camp. Love the map feature where you can see exactly where upon my route the park is. Seems dependable and info has been accurate. I also use it just to find a place to stop to rest or eat lunch - parks are more fun than rest areas! Great app!
Pick your state and find your state park.

A Must-App for traveling campers
Man Mountain Mike
I downloaded this app a few years ago because I enjoy the outdoors. It's true value for me came into play last summer when I was touring the Washington Cascade volcano mountain range with my friend on our motorcycles. We just bring sleeping bags, sleeping pads and one-man tents for our lodging. We would ride all day, then in the late afternoon look for a place to camp. Several times it was not obvious where we could stay, and once it was getting near dark. Then I remembered the app, and Wow, several camping choices within twenty miles. We used it every night after that. It is also great in finding interesting, rather unknown parks nearby, not only while traveling, but near home also. I have never written a review before this one, but I really have to say, if you like the outdoors, get the app. And then use it.
