State Campground maps

My plan for the paper map project is to improve the horrible state campground maps available via the official state campground registrar – Reserve America. From prior family camping trips, we’ve discovered campgrounds far from where the map placed them, parking lots farther from the campsites than shown, and RV lots (with allowed generators) adjacent to campsites marked primitive on the map. Some hard searching will usually turn up better maps, advice relating to the official map, or other sources of information – but it’s not all joined in one place. I plan to pick one state campground – Douthat State Park, West of Lexington – and improve upon the provided map. I would like to show more details about campsites, use colors to identify generator permitted areas from those without, and clarify some of the symbols used on the maps, which normally lack a key for anything.
