We've been long time users of the Camps Aust books and POIs in our Hema GPS device. However, the quality and performance of the new app for us changes our day-to-day reliance to the Camps Aust app. I was really impressed with the overall responsiveness and user interface. But really impressed with the offline functionality, download and sync features. These work just awesome. Offline capability is a feature of Australian touring that gets minimised by other apps sadly. Well done team.

Good evening Heatley, we are full time travelers and up until recently used a combination of Wiki camps and word of mouth but neither are always reliable with one reliant on internet and the other first hand knowledge, so today we purchased a copy of caravan parks 6 and camps Australia 12 so we never need to feel lost again. Cheers

David & Bernadette Cox

An unexpected encounter with Heatley and Michelle today as we were leaving Brewarrina (rain and vanners had churned up the grounds so we were getting out while we could). What a wealth of information you guys are… we made is safely to Alex Trevillion Park, Walgett, it is absolutely packed. Thanks again for all of your tips and recommendations.

Beverly Jayne

Hi Heatley Thanks, we are very happy. Just into the world of caravanning. Spent 10 days in Northern NSW and it is a great set of info. Cheers

Col Hoey

Good morning to you all, As I am getting older, I do not travel as much as I used to. I still travel around Tasmania where I live. I love getting your little emails and reading them. Whilst in one of my local shops I have bought the latest copy of Camps12. I am enjoying looking at that. This is just a note to let you know that I do appreciate reading the emails that you sent me. Regards,

Vanda Stevenson

"Hi Michelle, I have really enjoyed doing weekend trips away, exploring my own area, checking out free camps that I didn't know existed, so thank you Michelle and Heatley, for all the work you and your team puts in to the books and the app! I love them! I receive your newsletters, which are awesome, thank you." Regards

Katrina Cragg

...I am a happy user and have all the books since Camps 7, along with the last few years of the POI for Garmin GPS. I’m an advocate for CAW and always let other campers know what I use to locate and navigate Kind regards

"We are on our way & so excited with the help from your CAMPS PENDIUM. So easy to organise your trip & we are delighted with the split-up for each state. Thanks so much ...I’m thrilled with the layout & the contents. I will do the App update thingie as well & we look forward to many years of safe & well guided travel, THANKS TO CAMPS PENDIUM.” THANKS EVON, we are so glad you love it! 🙂

Peter & Evon Woodward

"Easier to use. Now on my phone. Put on the dash, and enjoy the drive. Love all camp sites info, including free camping, approx fees, toilets, and the list goes on. Could not fault it. Sooo handy not to stop to read, and find the place from the maps. Can relax at night, and see what's next out there. Thank you Happy As"

Trish

Travelled around Australia for 10 years on the big lap, couldn't have done without it. Just about to get our third Camps book. Good to see also available in [B4] and an App. Mark Andrew

Thanks so much for the work that went into your book! A friend told us about it and we bought the latest edition for our recent family drive to QLD. It opened a whole new way of camping to us and saved us heaps of money (which we then spent on rising fuel costs🤪) but we had fun and found the confidence to explore new places knowing we could always find somewhere to stay. We will need to reseal the old van before our next trip but we look forward to seeing more of Australia! Thanks,

Ruth McArdle

Have had two editions of these over the years. The second one finally had the updated maps. Was our travel bible. I wrote camp info in it...highlighted great spots to see....notes on caravan friendly servos...plus much more. It's well worn and retired now after 5 years full time on the road. However we still get it out occasionally and read our tips and reminisce off all the wonderful places we had seen. Great books...worth every cent. Thank you

Carol and Bill Odgaard

Recently bought the limited edition boxed set…. Great for planning and taking the “State” books we need for specific trips but ‘first impression’ of App.. fantastic!! Great compliment to to hard copy, the old favourite which we have loved using over the many previous editions. This is my wife Caron and I taken on South East Cape, Tasmania… Australia’s southern most point. Regards

Martin

Love our book and the APP... free camping bible! Here is us camped at Seymour, Victoria

Jo Barden

"I know a quality product when I see it and that is what you guys produce. You guys have done a great service with these books, many thanks... have seen it in my parents' many travel vans and campers over the years. (I) bought the one without photos to be surprised when we get to the camps, but in reality, every camp away from town is a good camp..."

Ken Pledger

"We began with Camps 3 and upgraded with every new edition. We traveled for two years with it all around Australia including Tasmania. It saved us many thousands of dollars and introduced us to places we would never have otherwise seen. After our two year stint in our motorhome we continue to use it for our winter trips up north. One trip of four months we did not stay in a caravan park one night. Cannot recommend it too highly." Pictured free camped in our motorhome, (far right) at Shark Bay, WA

Thomas Foster

Hi Heatley, So far I'm very impressed... Recently upgraded our old Camps 4 to Camps 11 and wow we are very pleased with the purchase, it's just so much better, but I guess progress will do that. (Our arrival at home from our recent trip. Yes I did get the grass cut eventually.)

Ross and Denise Irwin

I have recently purchase my first MH and am looking forward to taking a small 4 day trip with my 3 daughters next week. I saw your Camps 11 guide on line and have received my copy. We are currently ploughing through it and using your app to plan our little getaway. Thanks for creating such fantastic resources. I have no doubt they will be invaluable when we explore our beautiful country over the coming years. Kind regards,

Leanne

Had a bit of a play this afternoon, your app is easy to use and more than enough information for me, I am a motorcyclist of more than 40 years experience about to start ticking off some bucket list roads and towns across the north of the country, will be travelling light and camping away from towns mostly, your app is helping me to get a rough plan for my next trip with intended as well as emergency stopover points.

Recently bought the limited edition boxed set…. Great for planning and taking the “State” books we need for specific trips but ‘first impression’ of Ap.. fantastic!! Great compliment to hard copy, the old favourite which we have loved using over the many previous editions. Regards

Martin

I’ve only used it last week and found the Camps Australia Wide App great to find places we can explore. LangLang foreshore camp ground is only 38 minutes from home… who knew!! We had no idea on this quite camp ground, which we’ll go to for a quick getaway in the van.

Thanks Gwen

You guys do a great job with keeping your members informed on some awesome campgrounds and sites to see in Australia. We can't wait to hit the road in a couple of yrs. I will definitely be downloading the app. Have a great weekend coming up & safe travels.

Cheers Becc

Thank you very much for the app. Just purchased Camps 11 and in conjuction with the app. Brilliant. Have purchased a HX2 but am now thinking I need not have bothered. Only loaded the app yesterday but already it is easy to use and full of features. Cheers.

David

Thank you Wayne, it worked out. I'm not that great with computer stuff lol! I will be letting everyone know about this - it's fantastic. Wish I knew about it when we were travelling last year, but it will be perfect for our travels around Australia this year. Once again thank you,

Denise

Gday Heatley, my first impressions are that Im really impressed with the details and ease of use! The fuel locations and prices are very handy especially when getting into remote areas where camping spots are easy to find but fuel not so much... I'm currently travelling South Oz and I dont know why it took me this long to download it. Very impressed.

Brent Taylor

I received my new shirt yesterday and tried it on immediately. I just love it and so does my wife. I even had comments from others about how good it looks. I’m going to have to order another one before this one wears out and for when it has to go into the wash apart from doing some bragging! I felt it I also knew it was 100% cotton, the best.

Lee and Casper (my mate/dog)

Whilst we have had the books for our travels since 2011, I like the app because you include some information about the area we plan to stay in, and also directions for getting there rather than just the coordinates. We very much appreciate the work that Michelle and you, and your team, do towards making tripping for people like us an enjoyable experience.

Cecily & Steve Webster

We received our Pendium yesterday afternoon and have been looking at it all. It’s just fantastic. Thanks for doing all this. There’s so much details on it. Thanks again.

Peter and Florence Holmes

"I have Camps 11 and what I really love about it is that the maps have the little doggy ear symbols to indicate pet friendly sites. It saves so much back and forward checking to find somewhere that our dog is welcome (...dammit I love those doggy ears!!)" Many thanks,

Ally Smart

This app has everything! I’ve been flicking from app to app the last 8 months on the road. How have I not found this sooner! We are so excited to utilise this on our travels around Australia."

Aimee Rolph, Road Tripping Rolphs

We are planning our first trip and the Camps 11 is proving invaluable to us. The app is also fabulous! Thank you so much for all the work you have put in to make our lives and trips so much easier! Kind regards,

Vince & Jacky Hughes

We have used your camps books for years in our travels and love them. Have the large easy to read camps 11 this time and it looks great. Also have the app and looking forward to trying it. Keep up the good work I recommend your book to everyone.

Julie Morrissey

The Maps are easier to read, and navigating is a breeze. All the camps sites are well labeled and referenced; the site listings give you a heads up. It’s a fantastic resource for any adventurer or traveller wanting to travel and camp around Australia.

John Nieddu

Love it, the best thing I purchased while I was on the road for 6 months. Provides detailed information and shows if sites and parks are dog friendly- essential when travelling with a big dog. 

Dean W

This app is great, did not realise there were so many camping areas. Even though we haven’t set off on our holiday in our new camper trailer, with this app we can plan which camp sites we can stop at before we leave. Love it. Thank you

Pat Best

We loved when travelling last year to SA, WA and NT and we used the app constantly especially when looking for an overnight stay. Looking forward to using it again in the near future. 

Jenni O'Brien

The App has been so good, not just for caravan parks, but petrol stations and supermarkets. It's worth paying the money. Even if it was more than $10 a year, we'd pay it! I find it easy and I don't know how to use maps!

Deborah Hill, Ambarvale, NSW

Just received my Camps 11 and what a winner!!!! The new design reflects extensive research and a real acknowledgement of camping trends, like symbols for station stays, pub stays etc. Congratulations!

Frances Malzard

Love it – going to get the kids to navigate methinks!!!

Tash Erbs

Well there is no mystery for me with the app - it works! About three weeks ago I did the far south west tour.  That is the Victorian bits down on the SA border. I found great spots. I had no idea about these isolated places (which I wanted) before I left.  No idea is a great thing to deal with when travelling.  It's a big thanks thus far! Cheers

Rob

Hi! Just to let you know, I was using the app in August this year, and had paid the $9!  Love the app.....and the book, it was very helpful. Thanks and Cheers

Lotty

Hi - just wanted to say l love the new upgrade of Camps Australia (App) it's the best. Thanks for all your hard work. Cheers,

Brett

We have been travelling thru SA via Broken Hill and returned via Renmark and Mildura to NSW.... All in all your book has been extremely useful to us in all our travels over the years .... We have used it in all our states and found all our chosen spots to be just what we were looking for at the time. Many thanks for your hard work. Only wish we had your “day job” Kind regards

Lesley and Bob Lovell

Just want to let you know that I absolutely love the new look to the app. I have been using the camps app for nearly a year now and the new look is awesome. My favourite is the way you can see whether it’s a pub/club or a farm stay etc by the cool symbols.  The pubs and farm stays are my favourite camp spots so now you have made it so easy for me to find those camp areas just by looking for the beer mug or cow head symbol.  Can’t wait to use the app on my next adventure next year.

Kelly L

I found the app fantastic..

Jenni

My use of Camps Australia books goes back to camps five. I also have upgraded a third time to a Hema HX1 navigator with all camps 10 listed on it  plus I've just added the app to the phone. Wonderful when travelling. Wouldn't be without all three available for use when I have traveled for 4 to 5 months every year for the past 10 years except 2020 of course. But I did spend 4 months sitting in the mountains away from the city -at Gordon Country. Keep up the great work.

Greg

We love this app and use it always when we are on the road. Thanks.

Karl 

I have been a member for awhile now & love this app, use it all the time & have also got Camps 10 book. 

Suzi

Love camps australia wide Heatley. Have been a loyal customer and told dozens of campers and friends about this site, that’s why I signed up again, keep up the good work, you are doing a great job all of you. Regards
