Utility
If you are camping in Australia or New Zealand, you need this app. The app contains a database of all campsites, both free and paid, as well as all the other utilities and resources you may need when camping, like where to get fuel, water and even grocery stores and laundry. Users can leave comments for any of the locations on the map.
Features
Search through an exhaustive database of campgrounds and resources. Plus, the company guarantees all free camping sites on the app. That means that if it says freedom camping and you get a fine, the company will reimburse you for the fine. User to user features are a bit limited. Comments must be reviewed by a moderator and are not posted immediately, making some information not up to date.
Ease of use
The app allows you to easily search and filter for whatever you are looking for. Color coding pins quickly indicate whether a campsite is free, low-cost or paid. The icons are intuitive and clear.
Design
The app is simply designed, and the aesthetics are a bit dated. However, all the information you are looking for is there.
