Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Version 1.1 brings some of our most requested features, making it easier than ever to plan your next adventure.
SAVED LISTS
Save any campground with a tap of the bookmark icon and organize your finds into custom lists. Create lists for upcoming trips, favorite regions, or different camping styles. View your saved sites on the map all at once to plan the perfect route — it's the trip planning tool Dispersed has been missing.
STATE PUBLIC LAND BOUNDARIES
We've added support for state public land boundaries to the map, including state trust lands, wildlife management areas, and state forests. Tap any boundary to see details. Combined with our existing federal land layers, you can now see the full picture of where public land camping is possible. State land data will be rolling out over the next few months.
CAMPGROUND COVER PHOTOS
Campgrounds now display satellite imagery as a cover photo when user-submitted photos aren't available yet.
OFFLINE MODE INDICATOR
A new on-screen indicator makes it clear when you're browsing in offline mode, so you always know whether you're viewing downloaded data or live results.
PERFORMANCE & UI
- Faster map loading with optimized data transfer and compression
