What apps, websites, strategies, et cetera, do you guys use to find good campgrounds?

I’ve been looking into trying a short camping trip just sleeping in my car, but I’ve found it difficult to find good campgrounds through a couple of apps I’ve tried (I haven’t put that much effort in however)

Mainly curious how people with actual experience go about it before I start really looking on my own.

I live in the southern United States to be clear.

    If it’s marked on a map I consider it a bad spot. I just browse terrain maps for nice looking locations and then hike there to see what it’s like in person. If there are signs of other people having stayed there in the recent months then I go somewhere else.

    Admittedly I have the luxury of free to roam laws so I can camp quite literally where ever I want.

    Finding sites that prohibit rvs kinda depends on the website you’re reserving your site with. You’re basically looking for tent only with vehicle access.

    You can try going to an outdoor store and chatting with the employees for suggestions

    Put on a creepy costume like a ghost or creepy cryptid (ghost probably more effective. People don’t think guns affect ghosts after all, but some might try to claim an alien or big foot trophy).

    Haunt local campground late at night from a distance.

    Start a social media campaign about campground bring haunted / fake creepy stories based on your own hauntings.

    Now should be emptier for you to use.

    Just watch out for teens with a talking dog possibly investigating the events.

      Alternatively now the campsite is full of a different kind of visitor eager to have a “paranormal experience.”
