New Website Finds Campsites Nationwide

With RVers using laptops, navigation and smart phones like the iPhone, an in-depth database driven site like this is a great idea. Their iPhone app is in beta testing and will be released soon. Now if only Wallmart would do an app to locate their stores! 

A new website portal has been created that provides consumers with an unprecedented ability to quickly find privately owned and operated campgrounds, RV parks and resorts as well as government run campgrounds across the country.

The easy-to-use website, AccessCamping.com, also includes an iPhone application. 

“There has never been a website like this before,” said Brian Schaeffer, president and CEO of Texas Advertising, which developed the website portal.

“Just click on a state on our U.S. map and AccessCamping.com will provide you with links to websites with listings of either privately owned and operated campgrounds or government-run campgrounds, depending on your selection.”

Deb Carter, exective director of the Maryland Campground Owners Association put it this way: “Many words come to mind regarding your new website - but WOW seems to be the most appropriate! You've built a site that's easy to understand, intuitive to navigate, includes tons of information and is pleasing to the eye with clear graphics, inviting text and beautiful photos. 

"Being admittedly biased, I checked the Maryland information first and it's fantastic. When I click Maryland on the U.S. map, I go straight to our state page and can easily stay there and browse. It's full of great information, with a link to our own state website. It's clear that the entire website focuses on pampering the camper - helping them find the perfect spot for their home away from home. Nicely done!” 

AccessCamping.com also includes links to online databases of the major campground industry directories, including those provided by the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds, the Trailer Life and Woodall’s North American Campground Directories, as well as the websites of campground chains, such as Kampgrounds of America Inc. (KOA) and Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts. 

Schaeffer said the portal is needed because most websites have limited campground listings. “The government run websites, for the most part, list only government run parks while the websites for campground industry associations typically limit their listings to parks that are members of their associations. As a result,” he said, “most websites only give the camping consumer a partial view of what’s out there in terms of potential camping venues.” 

“Finally, a national camping website that gets the camper where he really wants to go,” said Rick Abare, executive director of the Maine Campground Owners Association and current president of Campground Association Management Professionals.
