If you are familiar with Woodall’s RV directories then you know how handy they can be.  But the main problem that comes with having a printed directory is the trouble of getting the information you need in an instant.  That’s where their new iPhone app can come in handy.  Woodall’s has created a new app for all of you iPhone owners out there that gives the great information that you trust, all in the convenience of an easy to use phone application.  If you are looking for the most up to date information on camp grounds, routes, and other necessary information, then this is a must have app for you.

Here is more information right from Woodalls website about this exciting new helpful application for the RVer:

Woodall’s, a Camping World company and the leading brand in campground directories, today announced the launch of RV & Camping Copilot, the most comprehensive campground mobile application available for iPhone and iPad. The free app provides RVers and outdoor enthusiasts instant and convenient access to more than 12,000 private and public campgrounds and RV parks in the United States and Canada, plus Mexico.

Woodall’s RV & Camping Copilot can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store and provides complete campground information, including amenities, services, types of campsites, on-site recreation and identifies many camping discounts offered at parks. Private campgrounds also include Woodall’s 5W/5W Rating System, which is the most trusted consumer campground rating.

“Woodall’s RV & Camping Copilot is a groundbreaking mobile application that provides RVers and family campers access to campground information from the comfort of home or their home on the road,” said Marcus Lemonis, CEO of Camping World. “This mobile app is the first of its kind, and we are pleased to lead the industry into the mobile space. But more importantly, we are thrilled to offer this app to camping enthusiasts for free.”

The Woodall’s mobile application interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. It will offer the ability to search campgrounds by city, state/province, nearest location or by campground name in an easy one-click search format. Users will also have the ability to view photos, take virtual tours and indicate their favorite campgrounds as well as share them on Facebook, Twitter or email to a friend. More than 1,000 popular attractions, in addition to Camping World retail locations, are accessible on the application. The Woodall’s RV & Camping Copilot App supports the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad and requires the IOS 3.0 system or higher.

If you need to find a campground while you are on the road, this App is for you.  Just another way to stay connected and informed while on the road via your smart phone. However if you wish to still have the campground directory in the original version, you can pick up the Woodall’s Campground Directory Book at your Central PA RV Dealership, Lerch RV. We also carry a selection of Regional Woodall’s Directories as well.

Safe Travels and Happy RVing!
