Apps and Software to find RV parks, dumps, etc.

We are new RVers. What software for the computer and for the smartphone do you recommend to locate RV parks, dumps, etc. while planning a trip or traveling? I've tried a few and they often have only partial listings. I want to be able to sort selectively also.

I want to plan a cross country trip for next summer and need to have access to an accurate database for this purpose. The best I've been able to find is RV Parky for Android.

Any suggestions on how to plan the Xcountry trip?

I use www.campgroundreviews.com . Its not an app but the site gives reviews of most of the parks out there. App wise I use RV Parky, RV Checklist and TV Antenna (for the local stations and antenna direction). I also use the Truck Stop app to find diesel prices and locations.

I use Woodall's for camping which is very good. I also use love's truck stop, my pilot truck stop, for gas and dumps. I also use Rest stop app. For lunch stop and some have dump stations and overnight stays.

not apps but I also use Reviews of RV Parks and Campgrounds - RV Park Reviews and CampgroundGallery.com. they both have reviews. campground gallery is newer and still low on how many they have but most of the ones reviewed have pictures as well.

I use RV Parky like you but it does not give you much info and then we look up the ones that we are interested in a RV Park guide and call them. Parky is free and works well on our Galaxy III S phones, as does the GPS. I am far to cheap to pay $300 or $400 for a nice GPS.
