Visiting a different campground each week requires our full-time RV living family to keep track of so many details.
Where did we camp? Was there good cell signal there? Did we have full hook ups or just water and electric? Was there a pool for the kids to play in? Was there a grocery store nearby? What about shade or a fire ring at our campsite?
In the past, I tried to keep track of campground details using our Google Calendar….but man, we’ve gotten really bad about recording the details. What I really needed to do was keep a camping journal.

The Ultimate RV Logbook A Great Camping Journal
The thing is though, I don’t have time to write in a campground journal each time we set up at a new campsite. At least, I don’t FEEL like I do.
Most importantly, I would not be good about going BACK to the the journal when planning out our travel and campsites in the future trying to remember what month of the year we visited that particular campground.
That’s why when I learned about The Ultimate RV Logbook, I knew I had to have one!
This RV logbook is the most efficient way to record your campsites as you travel, and it is set up to help you reference back to them too!
About The Ultimate RV Logbook
The Ultimate RV Logbook provides several really helpful sections.
Real quick, before I dive into the RV journal, have you learned about our 73-page ebook that will help you Organize Your RV?
Learn exactly HOW to become a master at keeping your RV organized and looking great without feeling overwhelmed when you purchase the ebook, Organize Your RV Like A Pro, that we created here at Let’s Travel Family.
Now, let’s dive into the details of this great RV logbook.
It provides 2 pages ready for you to fill out for each campground you visit. I appreciate that there are checkboxes, bubbles to fill in, and areas that prompt me to quickly fill out all the information I want to be able to reference back to. These pages are labeled Log Number X with 52 logs provided!
Side note: 52 weeks of the year for full-time traveling RVers is perfect!
The 2-page campground log is broken up into 6 simple sections.
As a digital nomad family, I especially appreciate the section Connectivity Notes section where I can rate cell phone carrier and signal at that campsite location. THIS is what we depend on for our income, so it’s really important for our family.
I also like the area for ‘Other notes’. That’s where we can start listing the things we did in the area such as hiking Angel’s Landing at Zion National Park or attend the Tampa RV show.
Near the back of the logbook there is a section called Maintenance Logs. Which is such a great idea and something we SHOULD be recording.
I love that it allows me to check off if I’m recording the maintenance of our RV or our towed vehicle too.
The part that makes this campground logbook so efficient for regular campers is the very back. It’s titled the Reference Index Log By State.
This works slick by allowing you to record your log number under the state that the campsite was located.
