“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

FREE online daily games for the Road: Wordle, Worldle, Waffle, Heardle and more!

Here’s some games you can play for free – you just need internet. Wordle Is Wordle a great little camping brain teaser for one (if you have signal) or is it really just a trumped up game of hangman? (Personally, I love it. And hearing about people’s strategies like using different letters for your second line, favourite start words or changing it up…) Wordle 269 3/6 🟨🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Worldle My geography teacher dad would have loved this! You have 6 guesses, and after each guess you are pointed in the correct direction with a distance away from the correct country.

Our must haves for camping, outdoor, beach or picnics

We never quite know where our travels will take us, but when it’s time to pull up for a meal, the most convenient or pretty spot is where we’ll stop. If there’s no table, then a blanket on the grass and a view will do us just fine.We’re always on the lookout for ideas or products that make our camping experience just that bit better. Today we’re sharing with you two finds that we love and use on our travels – the no spill glass on the grass wine holders and shoo fly food covers. The holders stop your glass

First look at CAMPS merchandise

Breakfast at Dickabram Bridge, near Theebine, Queensland If you love travelling with your CAMPS books and CAMPS AUSTRALIA WIDE app, now you can wear CAMPS, too! You can also stock up on presents for your CAMPS loving family and friends. We love wearing our new shirts! We made sure they were cotton, so they are breathable and are light and cool, even though they give great sun protection for your arms and neck. We chose half button workshirts, and we’ve sourced them from an Australian company in Brisbane. We wash and wear them. You can iron the shirts if you

Why buy a Book, when you already have the App?

“What benefit is there to have the books when all that can be downloaded for offline content?”   We received this great question the other day from Gina, who has the latest Camps Australia Wide App. Here’s our answer, we hope it helps you out before you head out on your next adventure… It is definitely a personal choice. I like having the flexibility of both when we hit the road. For me, even though I LOVE our App and all the features of camps+, nothing beats a paper map to follow when I travel. Although you can download maps

Help keep our campgrounds cleaner and safer with the push of a button

Ron Harwood (who we met in the Northeast Camp at Scottsdale)  introduced us to a new app we hadn’t heard of before called Snap, Send, Solve.    It is a free app and it is helping community members all over Australia and New Zealand report issues to local councils, utilities and other authorities.  The geo-targeting technology means that this app is perfect to use while travelling, as your location is automatically detected, so no need for addresses or landmarks. Whether it be a malfunctioning toilet, filthy campground or a fallen tree blocking the road, just Snap a photo and Send it
