One of the biggest challenges to RV travel is finding places to camp.
In the video below, we show you five camping apps that every RVer needs to have.
Jennifer and I are on the road all the time. And we never have problems finding places to stay. That’s because we have our smartphones and tablets loaded with five camping apps that always helps us find just the right campsite each day.
Are you ready? Here are our five top camping apps we think every RVer needs to have.
Number 1: The Allstays Camp and RV App. This is hands down the best of the best – the ultimate camping app that lets you find Campgrounds, RV Parks, places to boondock, even places where you can overnight for free, like Walmarts and casinos. Plus it has lots of related services you can access like rest areas, truck stops with dumping stations and more. It has maps, finds campsites nearby and even where to spot wildlife. It’s $9.95 for iOS and Android.
Since we got the AllStays app, Jennifer and I upgraded to AllStays Pro which is now the major go-to site we use for finding places to stay that really stand out, especially out of the way boondocking spots and free places to stay. Since Jennifer and I discovered AllStays Pro, the browser-based subscription site, we rely on it almost exclusively in our RV travels.
Adam, the owner of AllStays, has generously offered 10% off the AllStays Pro subscription if you use this link and the discount code RVPODCAST when you signup.
