How To USE THE MAPs
What types of locations are featured on this app?

We’ve compiled a comprehensive list that includes traditional RV parks, scenic campgrounds, convenient truck‑stop RV campsites, and safe rest‑area pull‑outs, plus hidden gems such as COE, military bases, BLM lands, and other free‑camping spots. Many truck stops now cater to RVers with overnight sites, full‑size hookups, propane refills, and on‑site dump stations, making them ideal “RV‑friendly” pit stops on any adventure.

Are all the truck stops listed suitable for RVs?

Yes, most truck stops we listed are RV-friendly and offer propane, dump stations, and overnight sites for RVs. Some truck stops offer pull-thru and back-in sites, and many have RV fuel lanes to make it easy to fuel your RV for the open road.

Do you know if this app shows my real-time location?

Yes! The map will display your location in real-time. Now it's easy to find upcoming parks, campgrounds, and truck stops along your route. 

Why does it sometimes take a while for my location to load on the map? 

Mobile devices can take a few seconds to determine your precise location in Google Maps.

Can I submit a new location on the maps?

Yes, feel free to submit your own location - SUBMIT HERE

Are all the parks and campgrounds located near the on- and off-ramps?

Across the United States and Canada, dozens of RV parks and privately‑run campgrounds sit directly off interstates, highways, and rural routes, offering convenient pull‑thru spots for an overnight stay. By opening the map, you can check for campgrounds with roadside access, view amenities, and plan a quick, hassle‑free night.

How do I determine the distance to the marker on the map?

Clicking a marker shows the distance from your current location to a park, campground, or truck stop in a pop-up info box. You can also follow the instructions - HERE  - to see pictures and reviews from all the locations, as well as get easy directions

Why do I have to zoom and click on Google Maps for more info?

RV parks, campgrounds, truck stops, and countless other travel stops constantly update their details—address tweaks, amenity upgrades, fresh photographs, and a steady stream of new reviews. While we strive to deliver accurate, up‑to‑date map information, the sheer volume of changes outpaces our ability to refresh every listing instantly, leaving occasional gaps.

Why can't I search for a specific location like an RV park?

Because the landscape of locations is always evolving—new photos appear, details shift, and fresh reviews pour in—we deliberately avoid storing a location's information in our app’s database. Maintaining accurate records for over 70,000 locations would require constant, labor-intensive updates, so we pull the latest information of all our locations from Google Maps in real time, ensuring users always see the most current content. To get the latest info on any location on our maps, please visit "How to get location info & directions"

What is the golden rule for free camping?

Always check with local authorities or property managers to confirm whether camping is permitted and free at any location. Rules, fees, permits, and overnight restrictions can change without notice.

Can I plan a road trip with multiple loaction stops?

For the best navigation experience, we recommend using Google Maps to create your driving route, then using our interactive campground and overnight parking map to locate RV parks, truck stops, free camping, attractions, and overnight stays along your journey.

When you find a location in the app, click the "directions icon" in the info box to open Google Maps. You can now add stopovers if you would like.

Using Google Maps to create your travel route is one of the best options for RV travelers and road trips because it offers:

  • Real-time traffic updates
  • Fuel stops and rest area planning
  • Satellite and street views
  • Easy route editing with multiple stops
  • Mobile navigation on Android and iPhone
  • Offline maps in low-signal areas

For RV and camping travel, many travelers combine Google Maps with specialized RV apps to find:

  • Overnight parking
  • Dump stations
  • Campgrounds
  • Truck stops
  • Walmart overnight locations
  • Low-clearance warnings
  • Propane and water stops
What is the Low Bridge Planner?

The Low Bridge Planner is an RV trip-planning tool designed to help you identify known low-clearance bridges and structures along a proposed route before you travel.

Enter your starting location, destination, and your RV’s total height. The planner compares available routes and checks them against known low-clearance bridge records.

The goal is simple: help RVers spot potential clearance problems before getting on the road.

How does the Low Bridge Planner work?

Enter:

  • Your starting location
  • Your destination
  • Your RV height in feet and inches

Tap Check Routes.

The planner calculates multiple route options and compares those routes with known bridge-clearance information. Potential clearance issues are displayed directly on the map, allowing you to see where low-clearance structures are located in relation to your route.

What do the colored bridge markers mean?

Bridge markers are color-coded according to your entered RV height.

Red – Lower than your RV The recorded clearance is lower than the height you entered. This represents a potential clearance conflict.

Orange – 0–6 inches of clearance The structure may technically have more clearance than your entered RV height, but the margin is extremely small.

Gold – 7–12 inches of clearance The recorded clearance is within one foot of your RV height.

Dark/Gray – Known low bridge nearby A known low-clearance structure is near the route but may not necessarily be on the roadway your selected route travels.

What does “0 known clearance conflicts” mean?

It means the planner did not identify a bridge record along that route with a recorded clearance that conflicts with the RV height you entered.

It does NOT mean the route is guaranteed to be RV-safe.

Bridge information can be incomplete, outdated, incorrectly reported, or changed by construction, resurfacing and other road conditions.

Always obey posted clearance signs and road restrictions.

Why are there several route options?

Different roads can have very different clearance conditions.

A shorter or faster route could contain a low bridge while another route may avoid the identified conflict. The planner therefore compares multiple alternatives so you can make a more informed decision before traveling.

When available, a route with no identified clearance conflicts may be marked Clearance-aware.

Why do I see low bridges that aren't directly on my route?

The map can also display known low-clearance structures near the selected route.

This is intentional. Nearby bridge information can be useful when reviewing alternative roads or understanding why one route may be preferable to another.

A nearby bridge marker does not automatically mean your route passes underneath that structure.

What does “low-clearance structure the route passes over” mean?

Sometimes the route crosses the location of a low-clearance structure but travels over the structure rather than underneath it.

The planner attempts to distinguish these situations so that a bridge located at a roadway crossing is not automatically treated as a clearance conflict for the road traveling above it.

Where does the bridge information come from?

The Low Bridge Planner uses FHWA National Bridge Inventory 2025 data as its primary bridge-clearance data source.

The National Bridge Inventory contains information about bridges and structures throughout the United States, including recorded vertical-clearance information for applicable structures.

Why should I enter my exact RV height?

Clearance results are calculated using the RV height you enter.

Your height should include the highest permanently mounted point on your RV, which may include rooftop air conditioners, antennas, satellite equipment or other rooftop components.

Do not rely only on the manufacturer's general model specifications if equipment has subsequently been installed on the roof.

Can I use the Low Bridge Planner as GPS navigation?

No.

The Low Bridge Planner is a trip-planning and clearance-awareness tool, not a turn-by-turn RV navigation system.

Use it before traveling to compare routes and identify potential low-clearance problems.

Does the Low Bridge Planner guarantee that my RV will fit?

No.

No electronic planning tool or bridge database should replace posted roadway signs and driver judgment.

Clearance information can change because of construction, resurfacing, bridge work, measurement differences or database limitations.

If a posted clearance sign conflicts with information shown in the Low Bridge Planner, always follow the posted road sign.

Important Safety Notice

The Low Bridge Planner is intended as a planning aid only. A result of “0 known clearance conflicts” does not mean that a route is guaranteed RV-safe.

Bridge clearance data may be incomplete, outdated or different from posted clearances. Road conditions and restrictions can also change without notice.

Always know the actual height of your RV, obey posted clearance signs and road restrictions, and never proceed beneath a structure unless you are certain your RV has adequate clearance.
