Great app if your wild camping/campervan/micro camper

My review comes from last year when I used it on a trip to Norway and a little bit in North Italy. I’m not sure what updates or changes have happened since then. This is also a thanks to the community for posting and reviewing places to help others. I used a car and then wild camped at various locations that I thought were appropriate. This app was great, some great spots which you can specify by campsite, nature spot etc so you really have good options. It saved me so much in Norway so thank you.

Thanks !

Requires work.

We used this App 2 years ago when visiting Scotland and it was great. We’re currently using it and it’s gone downhill drastically. Moderators you need to clean up peoples posts, the App is clearly called Park4night, not park for a few hours during the day.
People are posting about stops that are not for overnighting wasting our time wading through lots of options causing much confusion. Why post “a great place but no overnight stays” creating a map entry, wasting space on the map and peoples time searching through unsuitable options.
Why not get people to fill in a questionnaire style form to enable posting, things like -
“Can you park overnight” yes/no
“Are there height restrictions” yes/no
“Is the road accessible for large motorhomes” yes/no
“Is there a charge” yes/no
This can eliminate the wheat from the chaff making what was a great app usable again. Last night we wasted 20/30 minutes each time we went somewhere unsuitable leaving us in a noisy roadside lay-by at 10pm with 3 children under 8, not a nice experience.
Why don’t you incorporate the App ‘What Three Words’ as a means of locating places, last night we drove round and round trying to find somewhere that in the end had height restrictions. We navigated small roads with no passing places to end up miles down a lane not being able to get into the spot anyway.
Please make this app great again.................

Good morning! In our app you will find a category "Parking Day Only", it means you cannot stay overnight. If you find a place that is published under different category, and the overnight is prohibited, please report it to us by sending an alert. Also, in every place you you can check the price, services and restrictions. Please contact us at contact@park4night.com and we will answer all your questions. Kind regards.

It’s a very useful app

This app is very helpful. The new look has given it a good refresh. We use this everyday travelling. Some changes are less obvious, like finding the navigate to link again only happened by mistake. Itinerary makes no sense as a name for that. Navigate would make a lot more sense. I initially wrote a review to complain the feature had gone until I discovered it. Mid travel it was a bit stressful losing that but no drama. The offline maps issues need to be resolved but I’m sure you will do that. To anyone wondering if they need it, it’s been the second most helpful travelling companion, second only to my map/navigation tools which this links into. Great app team!
