Wheres the closest RV Dump station at a campground, a rest area, a truck stop, a water treatment plant?

RV Dumps knows these things. And you can easily know too. This same data is part of the "Camp and RV" app which has a dump station filter in it.

RV Dumps checks your location and displays up to 150 points on a map view. You can filter by type to see only what you want to see on the map and zoom out. You can also use the offline manual lookup to find locations by type, state and city...even when you have no phone service!

RV Dumps takes the database from the top ranked camping app called Camp & RV and filters all points that have a dump station as an amenity (not "hookups" which are at a site. Many parks no longer have stand alone stations.) Maybe you need one and a night stop or you are just passing on through. From Rest Areas to truck stops to private campgrounds (either stay the night or call to see if you can pay a separate fee). From State Parks to even some National Park and Forest campgrounds that have one.

Dump stations are being paved over left and right these days. We removed several each day that are found to be closed. Please send in reports and adds. I have hundreds more dump locations that I dont have GPS points for so they cant be placed in the mobile app yet. I keep working on those.

FEATURES

- Search for specific locations around you on a map.
- One-touch calling for places that have a phone number listed. Good idea to call and ask about the fees as Flying J now charges for it.
- One-touch turn-by-turn directions for all POIs.
- Works when iPhone has no phone service.
- Supports a manual lookup mode where users can look up parks and truck stops that have RV dumps.

Updates make major changes that early app reviews wont reflect. We added thousands of places like waste water treatment plants, dealerships, gas stations, public places, storage places and stores.

Pros and cons of RV Dumps app for iPhone and iPad

RV Dumps app good for

Works very well in the US. Some campgrounds do not provide water and a dump station, and with this app one can find the nearest with ease. Although there are web sites that show sani dumps, this app allows one to find the nearest ones at the touch of a button. Need a Canadian version or a data update with Canadian dump sites... at least in Alberta anyway. Also needs an add button to help the developer update the data base.

I find myself using this app very time we plan a trip big or small.

Some bad moments

Poor layout and user interface. After going through the menus, the results dont display clearly. Listings are incomplete. Dump stations I know of arent listed. Total waste of $2!

Overall a great app but missing too many state parks that have dump stations.

Ever been driving across the States and dry camping when you stop for the night? I would get frustrated stopping in Pilots, TAs, rest areas, just to find no dump station. Not any more! This app makes it easy to find one.

Was not a dump station! Dont trust this app, so we get to do their research for them to find the correct data. Dont waste your money.

I live in Anchorage and if you believe this app the nearest dump is hundreds of miles away in Fairbanks. It may be useful in the Lower 48 but I wasted my 99 cents.

This app has almost no data to it. This is a complete waste of your money. Just a handful of dump sites in all of CA listed. Im right down the street from one now and it doesnt even show it. Waste of time and money.
