Ratings and reviews

Awesome app to see free and paid camping spots for non-self-contained campervans (our situation). It looks good for self-contained vans as well. Information seemed pretty accurate. I wish it would link directly to the campgrounds' websites instead you have to Google the name.

Really disappointing. The information is extremely inaccurate. We're tent camping and selected tents from the site options and then when we used those sites, we were moved on! This happened twice! Additionally the prices displayed on the map are incorrect. Several are listed at $1-$20 and then when you open up the pricing info the minimum price is $42. Why display the wrong price to begin with!? Absolutely useless for our trip, we'll be uninstalling and using a different app.

Excellent idea and really useful as a resource when looking for places to camp and things to do. However, the information is quite dated and there arent many recent reviews for things (often upto 10 years ago...), probably because you have to approve your review every time you do it (even though it says you only need to do it once i have to confirm my email address everytime).

What's new
