The full toolkit
Find it. Save it.
Plan the whole road ahead.
Explore places, compare the details, organise favourites and build a trip that stays useful after the planning table.
Know the place before you get there
Every place opens with the detail that decides it.
Photos, a real description, opening hours, fees, terms and conditions, amenities and features grouped by type, current alerts, ratings, contact and booking details, the weather, and Street View to see the entrance from the road.
- Photos, hours, fees, conditions and amenities
- Street View, weather and directions built in
- Bundled offline, it opens with no signal
Smart collections and your own lists
Liked, Starred, Want to visit and Visited fill themselves as you mark places. Build named collections on top for a region, a season or the shortlist you are still arguing about.
Filters that answer a real question
Ask for free camping areas with toilets and drinking water around the Gold Coast, then narrow further by category, fee, rating, online booking, state and detailed access, amenity, activity and service features.
Standard, satellite and 3D maps
Switch between the standard map and satellite imagery you can tilt and spin into real terrain. Pins group into counts when you are zoomed out and break apart as you move in.
Street View before the turnoff
Street View opens straight from the place screen where coverage exists, so you can see the entrance, the road surface and the surroundings before committing the van to the turnoff.
Weather on every place
Current conditions and the forecast sit on the place screen and beside each trip stop, so a choice between two camps can be made with the sky in mind.
Costs in your own currency
Visiting and not fluent in Australian dollars? Choose your currency and set the rate once, and reported fees are shown alongside in money you can judge at a glance.
The main event
Stop by stop.
Day by day.
The trip planner is what everything else feeds. Add saved places as stops and drag them into the order you will actually drive. Every leg shows its distance, directions open to the next one, each stop carries its own date, arrival notes and weather, and you tick them off as visited while you travel. Nearby alternatives stay attached for the days that change, the packing list sits beside the itinerary, and the whole thing can sync to Calendar.

What travellers say
Made for plans
that change.
★★★★★
Made our trip so much simpler
“We crossed the country doing a mix of campsites and holiday parks and choosing each stop got so much easier. The offline details were a lifesaver more than once.”
★★★★★
The filters alone are worth it
“Filters are brilliant when you've got a big rig and need to know what you're driving into. Fast, no fuss.”
★★★★★
useful for every kind of stop
“we found lovely holiday parks for the kids and a few quieter spots for later on. having the prices and access notes in one place saved so much time, i was doing all this in a spreadsheet before which was... not great”
★★★★★
Good when plans change
“Helped us find a simple overnight stop when our plans fell apart, then somewhere lovely to stay a few days. Much better than searching town by town.”
★★★★★
Clear and easy to trust
“Clear maps, useful details, no nonsense. We used it for caravan parks, free camps and a couple of huts and it became part of the daily routine without me really noticing.”
★★★★★
Did the big lap with this
“Ten months around the country and I opened it every single day. Filtering for rig length and access saved us a lot of wasted kilometres up north. The amount of times we would have driven somewhere that just doesn't fit a 7 metre van.”
★★★★★
Less daunting
“Came over for six weeks with no idea where to start. Building the route stop by stop and actually seeing the distance made the whole thing feel manageable.”
★★★★★
offline was the selling point
“between broome and darwin there is a LOT of nothing. having the place details still readable with no signal is the reason we kept using it”
★★★★★
Good for a tent too!
“Most of these apps feel built for big caravans. We were in a small car with a tent and still found plenty that actually suited us.”
Useful first.
Honest always.
Signs beat screens
On-site notices, land managers and current emergency advice always take priority over a listing.
Current checks matter
Check the latest booking, road, fire and closure updates before departure.
Leave places better
Legal camping, thoughtful waste disposal and respect for Country keep these places open.
What is AussieCamps?+
AussieCamps is an iPhone app for finding places to camp and stay around Australia. It bundles a directory of 74,000+ places so the details stay readable without reception, and it turns the ones you save into a road trip with an ordered route, dates, notes and to-dos.
What places are included?+
More than 74,000 places: campgrounds, caravan parks, roofed accommodation, farm and station stays, backpacker hostels, roadside rest areas, day-use areas, dump points, potable water, laundromats, information centres, long-vehicle parking, experiences and other useful stops.
Does it work without reception?+
The place directory is bundled with the app, so names, categories, descriptions, fees, amenities, opening hours and conditions stay readable well beyond signal. Live services such as weather, routing, Street View, photos and provider pages still need a connection.
Can I plan a multi-stop road trip?+
Yes, and it is the app's main feature. Add places as stops, drag them into order, attach a date and arrival notes to each one, see the driving distance leg by leg and across the whole trip, open directions to the next stop, check the weather at each one, tick stops off as visited and keep the packing list beside the itinerary. Itinerary details can sync to Calendar.
What are collections?+
Two kinds. Smart collections (Liked, Starred, Want to visit, Visited, Pins and All saved) fill themselves as you mark places. On top of those you can create your own named collections with an icon and notes for a region, a season, a vehicle or a shortlist.
Can I filter for free camps or caravan access?+
Yes, and combinations of them. Filters cover category, fee type, minimum rating, online booking, state or territory, and detailed feature groups for access, amenities, activities, services and affiliations, so “free camping areas with toilets and drinking water in Queensland” is a single query.
What is on a place screen?+
Photos, a description, opening hours, fees, terms and conditions, amenities and features grouped by type, current alerts, ratings, contact and booking details, weather, Street View where coverage exists, directions, and nearby alternatives.
What map views are there?+
A standard map and a satellite view built on Apple's flyover imagery, which you can tilt and rotate for real 3D terrain. Street View, built on Apple's Look Around imagery, gives the street-level view from the place screen.
Can I see prices in my own currency?+
Yes. Choose your currency in settings and set the conversion rate, and reported fees are shown in that currency alongside the Australian dollar figure.
Can I book a campsite in AussieCamps?+
Open the booking details for a place to reach its provider and check live availability, prices and terms.
Are camping rules the same across Australia?+
No. Rules vary by state, territory, council, park and individual site. Always follow current signs, land-manager conditions, fire restrictions and official alerts.
