Ultimate Campgrounds - The LARGEST POI List for US Public Campground

July 31, 2013, 09:51:38 pm

After a relatively long day of westward traveling on mostly back roads of Iowa and Nebraska, we stopped at the very small town of Exeter, NE on US 6, to look on the computer for a camping site for the night. Thanks to Millenicom, we were able to easily get online. We usually don't prefer staying in those "Pack Em In" private campgrounds but rather stay in those public camping sites across the country that are excellently listed in Ted Houghton's "Ultimate US Public Campground Project Maps and Points of Interest (POI) List!" http://www.ultimatecampgrounds.com/uc/index.php> Upon checking this listing we found to our surprise, Exeter had a city park three blocks from us with two concrete RV sites with 50-amp electric for only $10/night! We were the only ones staying that night. Ever since learning of Ted's site on this LD forum, we have found countless similar camping sites that couldn't have been easily found any other way. My hat is off to Ted for assembling such a fine reference for our style of camping. I also support his endeavor by submitting camping locations I have found not heretofore listed. Ted will accept donations to help defer the cost of maintaining the site from those that find his site useful. I certainly will be using the site as we continue our westward journey into the Rockies.
We have already traveled 3000 miles since leaving Florida going up through Michigan to the upper peninsula and back down through Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa and have not seen one LD except ours reflecting in small town store front windows. I guess we stay too far out on the back roads. This might change the further west we go.
All the best to you that are traveling this year, Mike
