Hi,

A single source for "ALL campgrounds in a given area"? Doubt it!  It
wouldn't stay current for very long.  Particularly, the private
campgrounds seem to change name/ownership as often as I change socks!

Sounds like a perfect addition to the Vanagon Wiki, since everyone who
uses it can help keep it up-to-date:
http://vanagonwiki.net , or http://www.vanagonwiki.net .

AAA (the Auto Club) (at least in CA) is now producing maps titled
"Camping" and here subtitled "Northern California" and "Southern
California".  They include most of the public-agency campgrounds
(including some as deep as city level) and even some private
campgrounds.  If you poke at your state's Auto Club, maybe you can
find a comparable map?

There are many campground review sites on the web.  Some are oriented
towards RV'ers and some towards tent campers and some towards
backpackers.

Also, Micro$quish MapPoint has many campgrounds in their database:

Oriented specifically towards camper-vanners, we have a wonderful
burgeoning resource in the RoadHaus campground review site:
