Best Campground and Campsite Apps of 2019

[Hourless Life]

Currently on our 6th year of fulltime travel, these are the best apps that we've found. I wrote an article on them and what we use them for if you are interested. You can read that here.

• Campendium
• Allstays Camp & RV
• iOverlander
• Gaia GPS
• The Dyrt

I'm curious if there are any campground or campsite apps you use regularly that are actual apps? (Not Google Earth or anything of that nature)

Want to make sure we aren't missing out on any that we should be using.

Thanks in advance!

VERY nice...thanks! The wife and I are retired and just started camping and traveling last year and we are lost as a goose when it comes to finding sites. We use a road atlas and usually grab some brocheures at tourist info places and wing it off of that and talking to camp hosts and stuff, but that only goes so far. You just laid a beautiful bunch of resources out there that are leaps and bounds ahead of what we are currently using. Much appreciated!

Happy to do it. Please let us know if you have any questions about the apps we suggested!

I use Ultimate Public Campgrounds app ( I believe Garmin is using their database for their new overlanding gps)
and freecampsites.net website

I have 2 of the 5 you listed. I installed Campendium and like it. Thanks for sharing.

Campendium is great! Glad you checked it out. I wish I could sit with all of these developers at once and share with them the information we actually need for fulltime travel. The things that are important to us. Most of these apps have great information, but none of them have everything we need in one place. We'll see the game is getting more competitive for sure!

Hopefully the GPS app that OB is working on will address our all in one need.

Hey guys - v .9 is due the first half of July, and at that point we will consider letting in a small test group. The member map will be later in the summer and navigation the first half of next year. The OLB app will be a software as a service, and new features will be added and refined with feedback from you! We are really very exited about the design and the completeness of the platform. Threads like this will help inform the future roadmap. Its your app!

Count me in on Beta if you’re willing. Really stoked to try it and would love to provide regular feedback to make it the best it can be for the OB crew.

I’ve used it a couple of times but not to enter contests. It’s pretty interesting.

I use Backcountry Navigator XE instead of Gaia. I'm just a rebel like that. They are similar. I just like how Backcountry works.
