Favorite Apps
Allstays Camp & RV – Shows campgrounds, parks, RV repair shops, rest stops, propane service, and so much more on a map. We use this app constantly. It gives details on each place: number of sites, length restrictions, amenities, weather etc. We’ve found great places using this, including free camping. Well worth the $10.
Gas Buddy – Shows current gas prices around your current area or in a specified area. You can see prices on a map so you can anticipate price drops or hikes as you drive. Free

Yelp – Lists customer reviews of restaurants, stores, services, etc. If we’re going to eat out, we always use Yelp to find a place with good reviews.
