    1. How do I enter a search radius for a specific city?

    2. On old site, the distance from town to campground was included. Can't find it on new site: has that feature been deleted?

    On the advanced search page (click 'GO' with no entry in the box), you can enter the city and state of interest, and use the "Distance" drop down menu to select a 10, 25, 50, or 100 mile radius.

    Adding to that and tweaking a bit: Start with the Home page and click Go without anything in the search box. On the next screen put the city's name in the long search box, but DO NOT put the state's name in the box. Use the drop down box to choose the state. You can choose a distance, but if you leave it blank, the default is 25 mi.

    Speaking of the search function, how about including the RVPR Rating as a category, similar to what Amazon and many other sites do?

    Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but how does one get to the advanced search page?

    Where can i search for specific items with a specific criteria? For example, how can i search for all parks in a 50 mile radius of Denver with a pool?

    To get to the advanced search page, click on the green 'GO' button with nothing entered in the search box. I'd like to see the programmers add a note or link next to it that indicates "Advanced Search".

    Ok, i see, this is another "small device" issue. On my desktop computer, after clicking on the green button I get the search box with. The "optional search filters" checkboxes. I do not get these on my android phone.

    This is kind of important, because otherwise, the search is limited to the campground name and location.

    Yep, I just tried it with Firefox on my Android phone. Hitting "GO" gets me to the page where I can search by city, state, and distance, but not the optional filters as you said.
