Here's one that someone re-posted over on the Delphi Motorcycle Tourers Forum. It wasn't clear who the author was but many thanks to him.
Well OK, I tried but it's a .gdb file. Garmin database format and the site doesn't accept that as a valid file for attachments. :p If Mr. Mod can set it up I'll upload it later.
If you're familiar with the Delphi MTF there's a thread going on there and the file was also posted in .gpx format which I guess is a more universal POI format that's not Garmin specific.

Done...Here's one of common MC Camping/Cabin locations.
For State/National Parks I find it easier to search for 'State Parks' or 'National Parks' on the zumo and it will bring back a list..
There aren't that many SP or NP so it should be a pretty easy thing to do.. I think.... maybe I'll work on it unless the one from MTF is pretty much it.

Ok, thanks Joe. This one has numerous campgrounds all over the US. I forget, off the top of my head, there might be some Canadia to.
Oh oh, I see the problem now Joe. It's .gdb for file extension. The list of approved file types now shows .gbd. See the difference? Later. :D

Let's try this. I went back to the Delphi MTF and got the .gpx version of the file. I'll post the Garmin .gdb later, when Joe gets over his dyslexia. :D

Thanks Joe.
