Another map! Scenic RV Campgrounds

Prompted by responses to an earlier blog post ("Our ideal motorhome campsite"), I've set up a new crowdsourced map of RV parks where the campsites are scenic and/or peaceful. These could be sites located at a beach, on a mountain, at a marina, or in a forest -- and it’s fine if the locations are remote or are close to a city.  At these campgrounds, space between sites is optimized for privacy, quiet, or scenery.  

Here are instructions for adding new locations to the map:

  1. Navigate to https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=2113518
  2. Click on “Additions” tab.
  3. From the drop-down menu, select “Add Marker - Simple”
  4. In the "Location" field, start typing the campground name or the street address of the campground; a popup list will help you choose the correct complete address.  Alternatively, you can paste in latitude and longitude coordinates, separating them by a comma (e.g., 44.366454, -124.091027).  Or you can press “Map Select a location” to visually locate a spot on the magnified map. 
  5. Add "Campground Name" if it has not automatically been filled in.
  6. In the “Description” field, paste in the website for the campground, plus any other information that you'd like to include.  
  7. Optional:  Upload a photo of your campsite or its view.
  8. Press “Submit” and your campground location is on the map!  (Contact me via this website if any later editing is needed.)

And if you'd like to have a mobile web app that allows you to add and access these locations easily from your iPhone, the instructions are essentially the same as what I wrote in this blog post.  

Update (April 24, 2018):

Unfortunately, public access to this map is being discontinued -- please see the explanation at the bottom of the "Motorhome parking for urban tourists" blog post.
