➤This app or the "Camp & RV" app?

Although Camp and RV has a "tent" filter for this data, you may not ever need RV stuff. This app shows only places that take tents. Even boat and hike-in ones. Camp & RV has more than 4 times the points of this app because it has both tent camps and stuff tenters may not need. The other app has RV only parks, truck stops, rest stops, RV dealers, low clearances, parking lots and much more.

➤CAMP & TENT HAS 2 MODES:

✔Map view: uses GPS and maps to plot up to 150 points at a time. Starting from your current location, you can zoom out and in or jump to anywhere in the USA and Canada. This mode shows everything. Filter the map to view only what you want: KOA, Forests, BLM, or maybe REI stores.

✔City lookup: View text info by state and city. Only looking for State Parks? Find them without internet service!

➤WHAT'S IN IT:

✔Over 14,000 Campgrounds: (US & Canada)
✔KOA
✔Private
✔State Parks
✔National Parks
✔BLM
✔National & State Forests
✔Army Corps of Engineers
✔Military famcamps
✔County/City Parks
✔Even primitive hike-in/boat-in/rough road spots that other apps exclude. Every point has coordinates, address or directions and phone. 98% have amenities and official website links.

✔Expanded detail view lists all amenities. RV amenities are included because it gives you a idea of what to expect. When tent camping, you may want to find the smaller more primitive places with less RV focus. This is a good indicator. Amenities include open season, rate range, sites, water, showers, toilets/restrooms, tables, pool, playground, laundry, pet-friendly, firewood, boat launch, seasonal sites and internet access.

➤ PLUS Outdoor Supply Stores:

✔Camping World
✔REI
✔Cabelas
✔Gander Mountain
✔Dicks
✔Bass Pro Shops

Send in your own additions, reports and app corrections from each detail view.

➤HOW CAN THIS APP SAVE YOU MONEY TOO?

✔When you find a tent camp in a park behind a store.
✔Find a nice forest site just 2 miles beyond the $40 spot your book lists.
✔Lighten your load and not buy as many books year after year.

➤NO WIFI? NO SERVICE?

Parts of this app will always work and provide useful information. The data is stored on your phone while the app uses GPS, so constantly calling upon a website for information like other camping apps do is not necessary. This is great for improving speed when you’re in remote places.

➤SUPPORTED

** This app is a full time project built for campers by a camper. From http://www.allstays.com, providing camping data for over 11 years. There will be mistakes but they will be fixed promptly. This independent app does not feature or hide any place based on fees or corporate ties. Information is provided. You make the decision.

Don’t take the tent out one more time without Camp & Tent. Or if you use a camper, look for our Camp & RV app. The ultimate outdoor travel app.

** Cell service is required for full GPS functionality. Internet required for maps.**
