I can touch the map and spread it to where I want to go.  I’ve got every single App for camping in Australia and yours is easiest! Miles easier!  I’ve had more apps than you can poke a stick at. I’ve

“Top no. 1 info tool everybody needs”

We come across travellers and their stories every day. When Peter Warden (pictured on the left of this image with his friends) sent us this email about the camps app, we just had to share.  I downloaded alternative apps…… and then I renewed my camps membership and paid the 10 bucks …. Why? You do a bloody good job with your app and the POI and the book. I used you for 12-13 years and think you are important in the past, and now, and for the caravan community. Others jumped on your success, but you are the right guys

Clifton Showgrounds, Queensland
App

NEW App customer question: Do you list showground stays?

Clifton Showgrounds, Queensland Camps Australia Wide were probably the first ones to list showground camps! We love them, too! They are generally cheap, pet friendly and spacious BUT they have facilities. They’re a great place to start if you want to try different types of camping, because you still have the comforts of toilets, showers etc AND they are generally fenced, with a caretaker, or close to- if not in – town. Please check your filters when you search for them. Delete the other filters, and choose the showground symbol (see screenshot below). Or look for the yellow symbol on
