Have you ever traveled the country in your travel trailer and wondered where the next best step would be? Well, we have put together a list of the Best Mobile Apps for RV Camping. There are several apps that you can browse through and get guidance on your way, whether you are looking for a campground, tourist attraction, national park, or Walmart parking lot (I hear a lot about this lately).
1) Google Maps – FREE
Google Maps is my preferred app. I use it on both Android and iPhone. One day, I might test it on a Windows gadget. It’s amazing for discovering the fastest paths and provides real-time traffic notifications, including warnings on roadwork. I can look up nearly anything, which is very useful when organizing journeys. I depend on it around seven times every month. Its offline capability is highly advantageous in regions with lousy reception. I would score it 10 out of 10 for its simplicity, ease of use, and appealing layout. It makes traveling much more effortless!
Features:
- 220+ Countries Supported
- Voice Guided GPS
- Live Traffic Conditions
- Route Optimization
- Navigate Offline
- Geographical Analysis

You can plan trips directly within the app or on the web at roadtrippers.com and easily share them with a group.
