    4. Camp & RV

    What's in it right now:
    • Every point has coordinates, address or directions and phone numbers. Now over 90% of them have amenities and official website links.
    • Camp & RV has three modes:
      • Map view: This uses GPS and maps to plot all places. Starting from your current iPhone location, you can zoom out and in or jump to anywhere in the USA. This mode shows everything. Then you can filter the map to view only what you want. If you don't RV, you may want to filter out all the RV dealers.
      • City lookup: View text info by state and city. Filter city names to only show those towns with a KOA, State Parks, etc.
      • Highway lookup: View info by highway. This view is never complete. Ideal for quick overnights, you'll only see things closest to a exit here.



    Why else do you need this app? You probably planned your destination and any extended stay spots. (Or if you travel like us, maybe you don't plan at all.) You don't always plan every stop along the way, so you get out your heavy books and maps, many of them just list places with which they make business deals. This independent app does not feature or hide any place based on fees or corporate ties.

    The Camp & RV data is stored on your phone, so constantly calling upon a website for information is not necessary. This is great for improving speed when you’re in rural areas or otherwise out of range for decent cell phone or internet access.

    It uses Google Maps to display up to 150 points of interest on a map at one time. Filter/zoom all over for exactly what you want.

    Don’t take even one more trip without Camp & RV, the ultimate outdoor travel app. It will be improved often and requests are taken seriously. If you are not completely satisfied or think of something to improve it, just use the contact form in the app. Let us know what would make it even better for you. You will get a real reply and usually within a few hours. From Browse Cheap Hotels and Find Discount Lodging Rates - AllStays, providing camping data for ten years running.
