5/5Enjoying all the apps
Been out here for only a week and these apps have already been helpful. The one thing I can’t find is a good guide to public libraries, and thought that would be a nice plugin app. On the other hand, maybe public libraries, financed by locals for locals, might be off putting for increasing wifi traffic and computer usage. Just a thought/suggestion for another project.

5/5Life Saving
This app saved my life. There is no other way to put it or to understate it. I was caught between suicide and mental illness after being attacked camping using another app for pay camp sites. I found this app and perfected the art of boondocking and have found myself and some of the best kept secret beautiful spots that are left in America. I will never pay to camp again and relish each adventure this app has given my new life.

3/5Nice concept but can’t see the filters even when it says they are applied.
It’s a wonderful concept but I can’t get it to display my filters. Zooming in worked for a while and then stopped working for some reason. I have tried turning my phone on and off, deleting the app and reloading, making sure my filters are applied but all my filters won’t show up! I have pushed and read about every button but still can’t get my filters to show on the map. Had it working once, then all filters gone and nothing seems to work to get them.

5/5Quiet and Simple
This is a quiet place approximately seven miles west and north from Bethany, Missouri. There are only four camping spots- gravel spots for campers or the grass for tents. There are no facilities or electricity of any kind. It’s a hard packed gravel of about 1/4 mile, so I was able to ride my motorcycle in and park without any trouble. In the distance, you can sometimes hear traffic on the road, but overall it’s just crickets and birds. There’s a stream nearby, and there are rules for fishing posted on the bulletin board. The site is well kept and clean, and one of the fire rings had a stack of wood. It’s a pleasant surprise. I’m sitting here listening to crickets and Bob White Quail, etc..

5/5The very best for ease and price!
I love this app! It’s always been great and has never once let me down and I camp A LOT. Many of the sites are actually free campsites for tents and RVs the like. I happened on a really nice camping area on the Kilchis River that was far beyond any dreamy hopes or expectations. I use that forest constantly now and would never have known about it if it weren’t for this App.
