App that shows all available camping options
Greetings,
I’m looking for a trip planning or camping app that will allow me to enter a specific location, and the app will show all available camping options within a certain radius . For instance, dropping a pin on a map or entering a town/city name and the app will show any and all camping options; National, state, county, city, BLM, US forest, boon docking, Walmart, Cabelas, Cracker Barrel’s, RV parks, etc...
Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions, and please advise.

What you want, or close to it, is http://www.rvparky.com
Pretty sure it's available as an app also, although I haven't looked to download it, mainly because I'm not interested in the Walmarts and Cracker Barrels and such. It won't have free boondock sites listed, though; for that I find http://freecampsites.net indispensable.

AllStays Camp & RV app will do all that & more. It has filters that let you select the type of campground you are looking for. I use it when I want to consider any campground/park, and The Ultimate Public Campground List app when I want only non commercial campgrounds.
Both use maps to locate areas - You must have cell coverage to see the map...

I tried the Allstays but I think it doesn't work on an android phone. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

A quote from their iOS app page:
"Multiple things happened (map fee increase, a app ban/removal and censor of core data) that led to a departure from Android in late 2017. Full data is still on Apple and allstays.com as normal. The Android apps will keep running and anything that goes to the web (website links, images, reviews, etc) will still work and be updated. But major code updates, data adds and deletions will not happen. You can still reinstall on devices as below.
Versions may vary a little but general steps for reinstalling on Android any time for past customers:
On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Play Store app Google Play.
Make sure you are logged with the account used before to buy
Tap Menu Menu and then My Apps & games and then Library.
Tap the app you want to install or turn on.
Tap Install or Enable.
Because of the unexpected change, I can do a $10 credit on Pro. If you want to try AllStays Pro, the web browser version that runs on computers and mobiles and has a lot more updated information than the app had, send a email from inside the app or your Play receipt, with "Android to Pro" at the top of text, to apps at allstays.com."

For National Forest Service camping there is this National Forest Service Interactive Visitors Map.
It is available on computers, android, and ios.

The only thing that's absolutely certain is that any single source will be incomplete. On a trip across the country a decade ago (pre-app), we carried three different campground guides in current issues... and for any location we checked, none of the guides showed all of the campgrounds listed by the others. One problem is that many guides charge private campgrounds to be listed, and of course campground operators don't pay every guide for a listing.
On our most recent trip across the country we had auto clubs guides and local tourism guides, but generally found Google Maps searches the most useful.

I always carry my benchmark maps for each western state I’m traveling in.
