Excellent and very friendly app, with a direct link to Google Maps or Maps for driving directions. Only reason I’m giving 4 stars out of 5 is because I wish they would have more campsites in the areas where we camp.
Huge Selection from a Small App

Your app is amazing! I wish I had more money to donate or something but the fact that you are putting the hidden gems into the free tier just made me so happy. I hope this is a lucrative app that takes off for you because I had a great time using it this spring with my girlfriend, and it was super useful!
Great app

Pleasantly surprised to see how comprehensive this app is and the features it provides for the cost. The free tier is excellent but the premium tier is half the price of others and provides everything I need. This app lists several campsites in my area that I was aware of but that other apps overlooked. Kudos to the developers.
Super helpful and well designed

Makes finding spots in the east much easier! Instead of searching every park website, I can view almost everything in one place! The map usability/display is very good as well
