A camping app that knows the place you're going, what it's like there right now, and how to get you in. Free. No account. No cut of your booking.

The idea

The next generation of outdoor apps.

Most camping apps are a list with ads on it. This one knows the ground you're standing on, the weather rolling in, the fire two ridges over, and whether site 14 has a paved path to the restroom. Then it hands you to the people who actually run the campground, and takes nothing for it.

Search

Say where.
We'll find the rest.

A state, a town, a lake, or a feeling. Results come back closest first, with the price up front and live availability where the campground publishes it.

We don't take your reservation. We get you the site.

Nobody but the agency can book a public campground. So the button says where you're going, and we hand you straight over. No cut, no reason to push the camp that pays the most.

Free. No account required.

Saved camps, trips and your profile live on your phone. Sync between two phones is there if you want it, and it's opt in. Where a number can't be verified, the app prints a dash.

Find your camp.

On iOS and the web. Nothing to sign up for.
