I've got two (paid) campground-search apps that I really like:
Both are GPS-enabled, provide campground overviews and amenities, links to online reviews, and allow you to search by amenities; both cover Canada and the USA. The Allstays app is my favourite and is a little more feature-rich and also includes RV Dealers and Walmarts (identifying stores where you can park overnight). They're both particularly handy for finding open campgrounds at this time of year as most 'round here have closed for the season.

RV checklist is free and I like that it allows customization for items AND categories. I don't know if it has an Apple version.

I like "Point Inside". I needed to drive to a Crate and Barrel store at the Burlington Mall while visiting relatives. Point Inside showed me where, in that huge and confusing complex, the danged place was. I drove exactly to the closest parking area, bought the fabulous knife I wanted to give my niece, and drove out like a seasoned retail maven. It is useful at decoding restrooms, parking, atms, security and "promos" at malls and transportation hubs. I like the free price too. This is the Android like; it is also available for those of the Apple ideology.

If you are a Passport America Member their app is useful. You can use it if you are not a member but you do not get the discount. I also have USA Reststops, Camp Finder, and Gas Buddy. If you are a Canadian or live in one of the Border States that has Tim Hortons then the Timmy me app is a must.
I am an Android user but I know some of these apps are on the Iphone as well.

I like road ahead. It shows what's on the highway you are on.
RecGovCamp is great for finding government campgrounds... Trip Adviser is great for finding a restaurant. |

I made this a sticky topic. If anyone has or knows of an app that would be useful to us please post some info about it.

Boon Docking is a cool free app. It will bring up a map showing your location. Zoom out, go to the interested area and it will show you known places to boon dock.
I have it but haven't used it yet. Terry |

I've got iExit - probably similar to Reststops. This one shows gas/food/lodging/grocery stores, etc at each exit.
Another one I have is Point Inside. It shows shopping centers/malls and even maps of the malls so you can see which stores are inside. They were both free. I have a Droid.
