Campendium - RV & Tent Camping Reviews

by Bethbark

Have been using Campendium for nearly a year now. Needs some work in the user friendly arena. Favorites need to be store by state!!! There also needs to be a note section so u can track what you've already looked in to and such. There are times when it won't find popular large parks. Wish it would keep the filters set rather than having to reselect them each time you login. Wish it had amenities to select like 'paved sites'... Option to have large enough site where vehicle can be disconnected. Got a good start but improvements can be valuable! Thanks.

Pancho villa state park is a wonderful spot. Gravel level sites with sun shaded picnic table and fire ring
Columbus is right outside the gate
Museum closed. So sad Trumps wall is right down the road 3 miles Heard a lot about this wall In the news lately not bad looking you can see it all lit up at night Before you cross over to Mexico there is a family dollar We normally don’t shop at family dollar but it was the only game around Very Small grocery in Columbus. Prices better at family dollar we needed creamer a basic necessity. Bathrooms open shower closed mostly pull thru sites Love the view from the hilltop You can see for miles

Oops, rated it one star ‘cause I couldn’t log in after paying but they contacted me almost immediately to fix things so I shouldn’t have been so hasty! Campendium is super useful with great filters to help narrow searches and the pics and reviews of campsites really help narrow down choices to ones that I’m interested in. Another feature that would be great to add, at least for supporting members, would be a way to “favorite” sites so that they’d be easier to find in the future.

Quality app, quality customer service!

We recently stayed at the RV Park after the National Park Campgrounds filled up. We can honestly say that it was a great experience staying at San-Suz-Ed. The new owners Jason & Katie (& family) made us fill right at home, and they are making improvements to the campground daily. We were sad to leave after 4 days, and would have loved to stay longer. The RV Park was full, but it never felt crowded and was always peaceful and quiet at night. We had fun sitting around the community campfire in the evenigs and sharing stories while our daughter made new friends. We definitely recommend this campground to anyone looking, and we will be back next year for sure. Some sites are back in, and others are pull through. We stayed in two sites, 17 & 24. Both sites were easy to get in and didn’t require much to level the trailer, a few block under the tires to help, this is the Mountains after all.

We stayed one night on our way north to visit family. The park was well tended, and the camp spots in the back row felt really secluded from the park ( there are some that are kind of circling the ball fields), we were in spot 12.
There are nice paths to walk your dogs that are even lit at night making things a bit easier ( still
remite feeling so take precautions.
The electricity worked as promised and the dump station was an added bonus. If you want a space doe a day or three at a fair price this is it.

Thanks for the awesome resource! I’m so thrilled Campendium is so helpful for finding free BLM spots! Also such a great idea to add cell service reviews!

In a future update can you guide reviewers to input their rig setup? Like car/truck/trailer setup etc. so when they say “roads were impassable” or “we got up to the spot just fine” we have an idea of their clearance? Towing a 30 footer is different than a Jeep and a teardrop. Thanks again! I’ll be referring Campendium to all my boonie camping relatives!

I always refer to this app first when picking camping destinations...now things have become even easier with Campendium . The user interface is intuitive and the campground reviews (including cell coverage) from REAL people who have stayed there is super useful. Reviews also include photos from reviewers, not campground owners, so I feel like I'm getting a better idea of what the campground actually looks like before I decide to stay there. It also makes it easy to find boondocking options.
I love Campendium!

This park is an excellent choice in the Lubbock area. Not far from Texas Tech University, downtown, or the many restaurants in that area of town. The young couple who have built this park from the ground up have done an excellent job with the layout allowing ample space between spots. Both husband and wife exhibit excellent and attentive customer service skills when phoned. We pass this park often going to and from visiting family and it seems to consistently attract very nice looking rigs. We have driven through the park on several occasions and all RV’s and side yards appear well kept and the park seems quiet. The young wife was out watering the newly planted sod, and was so sweet when we stopped to ask questions. We hope to stay at this RV park in the future.
Highly recommend!

I’ve been using Campendium for over a year now and it has brought me to some of the most beautiful campgrounds. I’m a big penny pincher so the fact that you can search for free or cheap sites is my favorite part. You’re able to read others reviews and browse pictures before heading to the site. It even links your map apps to the gps coordinates ensuring you can get there stress (and paper map) free. I’ve recommended Campendium to all my fellow traveling friends. Thanks this app for helping me find some hidden treasures!

Just downloaded Campendium and immediately can tell this is a keeper. Easy and intuitive, actual user reviews, photos, etc. One nifty feature i noticed is the option to “show in maps”, which then gave me the option to use google maps (or other map apps if you prefer them). Sweet. No flipping back and forth trying to view the campground in satellite or street view, or messing with a map app you’re not familiar with. Very handy! 5 stars just for that haha. Seems to be an app made by campers for campers.

The family and I pulled in late night and just chose a spot to rest for the night. The staff was very welcoming the next morning. I ended up booking for one more night just because of the staff and the beautiful seclusion of the park. We stayed in spot 14 which is set back in the park and right next to the creek which kept the kiddos busy for hours. This place is about 8 miles down a graveled and dirt road, but definitely worth the 20 minute drive. We would definitely stay if we ever visit again.

Zion park was a zoo on March 30th 2019 and all parks were full due to spring break. We hadn’t really figured we’d stay and are always giving our free spots first option and boy I’m glad we did. This Butte was like your own Zion experience with zero people at the very top and along a side road which boarders a canyon and breath taking views. We were in our 4x4 sprinter revel and needed every bit of it to master the tight corners, rocks and dips it needed to navigate. Definitely no big rigs past the first set of turnouts. Shared the top with a few mountain bikers but never saw them much. Could have stayed forever!!

This was an unexpected stop for us but we so enjoyed the tranquility and peacefulness of this location. We ventured down past the first two stops then turned around and stayed at first spot on left about 3/4 miles in. Stayed 2 days. Our teenagers loved the place as we were right by the cell tower and they had amazing internet. (T-Mobile)
We did a few hikes and enjoyed them, next time we take atv’s! The only thing that shocked us was how much traffic in and out there was. (Nothing bad) just caught us off guard at 11pm

the closer you are to 95, the more crowded. Having written that . . . the desert is a HUGE place and even during the shows in January, getting a decent spot is not difficult. the road extends fro miles up to and over Quinn pass and there are lots of really nice and quite spots to pick, even for big rigs. Ours is 40’ and no problems. We went about 4 miles out and found a quite private spot with beautiful views of the mountains. Site are very level for the most part. Cell service, not so good, but we have a weboost that got our Verizon bars up to 4 on 5g.

We planned to stay for a week but it was so well kept and chill we extended our stay to 10 days. Got a perfect spot side by side with our friends. Easy hook ups, clean and powerful showers with new tile and great hot water pressure. The grounds are a beautiful 800 some odd acres. Bird sanctuary, bat houses, a fun graffiti bridge you can tag (and read), and affordable golf carts for rent to tool around the lovely acreage. There are music events we were not on time for, disc golf, horses, and atleast 1 tree house that should not be missed! Highly recommended. I look forward to returning for music once the world rights itself!

We had reservations set for a month. Enjoyed it so much that we stayed for 3 months. We were greeted by Brye & Salem, and enjoyed them the entire visit. Their knowledge of the area, love for animals and amazing work ethic made them approachable and great to interact with. I don’t think they ever stopped working! The park is landscaped weekly and most all sites have access to grass. Lots of room to walk the dogs. Daily garbage pickup at your site & recycling bags provided. Just set your propane tank out, and it will be filled and returned. Mail/Package deliveries made to the office for easy pickup. 2 laundry rooms with coins accessible in the office.

Know nothing about the area around Wickenburg, we turned to this app to find a spot to spend the night on our way to Tucson. Other area campgrounds were full for the night; even so, we look for opportunities to boondock. The dirt road in was easy to navigate in our 28’ Airstream and we found a nice spot that was nearly level. The lights from the town are pretty at night, and if it wasn’t so unseasonably cold (and then rained off and on most of the night) we would have really enjoyed sitting outside and enjoying the quiet, the view, and the stars. It was easy driving out in the morning even though the ground was very wet from rain. It’s a great deal for $8!

We needed to take a break from regular campgrounds and be kind to our wallet. Driving from Kingman AZ to Colorado Springs CO to deliver my daughters dogs to her. This place was a perfect lay over and rest spot away from all the hustle and bustle. Exit 2 off of interstate 70 before we cross over to Utah.
They say no big rigs but we like to off road a bit in our 30’. It was safe enough to do so at least to the first spot. Tucked away and far enough off the beaten trail.
They also say 7 days stay. We also drove to the RV area. Nice roads and big spaces but we wanted to be away from all semi, car and train noises as possible. We already did a week of that. They also have 4 horse-stalls with plenty of area to ride.
This place you can ride your horse, motorcycle, quad ,razor and everything is pretty well marked. We also saw some antelope grazing.
The only downside we saw was the trash that someone prior had left behind. Why do inconsiderate people ruin such a nice place? Of course we picked up there mess and fully love it here.
We will be heading to Utah and see some sites before heading home. Happy trails!

This is our 2d trip to Red Rock, having stumbled onto this little gem a few years ago on our way to Death Valley. Last time the place was empty on arrival. This time, we arrived at 6p and freaked because the campground was nearly full. We had broken our “get to campground by 1” rule, so I gave hubby the stink eye and tried to blame him. Then, magic. Our favorite spot - #50 - was still vacant! Waiting for us. Ok, it was one of the most unlevel spots in the campground, but who cares? That’s what levelers are for, right? Gorgeous sunset, and now spectacular pink sunrise. Warm during the day, freakin cold at night. They now have free WIFI! So hubby was pretty happy that he could still work (and watch Netflix). The trail right near #50 did not have a “no dogs” sign, so as soon as I finish writing this I’m outta here with Sofie & Tyler!

Before staying here for 1 night, I had called campgrounds & RV parks in the area. Local KOA was $89 w/hookups & still high for dry camping. I’m in a Skoolie. In Sonoma-Casinos will not let you park either unless you gamble & then not overnight. I’m from California but I can only say how uninviting this state is to travelers compared to other west coast locations. I found the park & ride to be just fine (yeah & the rooster does start crowing in the early morning hours 😱) Traffic noise but it diminishes after midnight. No other overnighters here but also no knocks on the door. Recommend for the weary w/ nowhere to go & it’s late. 👍😎🚌

Just like their website, which we have been using for years... Campendium has amazing filters to help you find the kind of site you want! We rarely make plans and this helps us find amazing places as we travel (full-time for nearly 3yrs). We work from the road and this is Campendium /website to use to know before you commit to a campground or boondocking spot if the cell signals are usable.

We are a RV rental company and we highly recommend Campendium to every one of our customers. Will use it ourselves and have found that we no longer even worry about making reservations at RV parks. We prefer to find a secluded area, Campendium allows that! Highly recommend it easy to use and so accurate. The more people have it and the more people put comments- locations the better this is going to get.

We've been using the this app website for the past 3 years, and it took our full timing to the next level. Now with the convenience of just opening Campendium , it's just unbelievable. Why spend time Googling campgrounds or scouring NF or BLM maps for spots that may or may not work out. Just open Campendium find what kind of spot suits your needs, and you'll know exactly what to expect when you get there.

by River Anne

Beautifully designed app that works without a hitch. The interactive map is just excellent. It’s a similar to Google maps searching, but the this app map works more smoothly and is prettier and easier to read.

I used this app a lot on my laptop until this mobile app came out, and Campendium is just as rich and functional as the desktop version. It’s the first place I look when I’m searching for campgrounds and reviews.

by KenneysSeeAmerica

this app is our number one tool to find our next camping destination. There’s a great wealth of information and photos on so many campsites, RV park and campgrounds. Campendium makes it easy to search by location. Once you have found that perfect spot, click on maps for immediate directions. You can also go right to the campsites website or reservations link.

Great app and a great solution.
