I was recently asked while traveling in our R.V. with our grandchildren. How do we know the R.V. parks we stay at during our travels are safe? I did not know. So I started to ask around. In california you can go to the MEG--- L-W web site (free) use zip code of the park, search and scroll through looking for the parks street address. This way is time consuming but affective.The other way is to search by street address. Type in street address hit search then click on blue squares close to the red star. This method is a little more complicated but much quicker when mastered. PLEASE COMMENT ON ANY OTHER SECURITY PRECAUTIONS THAT CAN HELP.

When traveling, the only security precaution that matters, IMO, is situational awareness. If it doesn't feel or look safe, move on. In a transient situation lists like you are talking about are probably useless (I guess you are talking about the California Megan's Law list?). Again, JMO, but unless you are staying in really low rent, rundown places I think you are worrying excessively. Bug bites, slips and falls, poison ivy, too many smores, and spoiling the kids with overindulgence are typically the kind of dangers to watch for when traveling with grandkids. If you read the statistics instead of the headlines you will see crimes against kids are really pretty rare. Of course if you are uncomfortable you could stay home with the doors locked.
