7 useful apps for camping
Are you going out with your caravan or tent this summer? Then you will undoubtedly take your iPhone with you. And luckily, because this one comes in handy on the road. We have listed a number of useful apps for camping.
1. Camper contact
If you are traveling with a motorhome, Campercontact should not be missing on your iPhone. In the app you can see a large database of locations in more than 50 countries. Here you can see places where you can park your motorhome, or where you can park your motorhome on the campsite.
With the search and filter function you can find all locations nearby. In the app you check reviews from other motorhome owners about the locations. Based on this, you can determine a good place to settle down with your camper. Have you discovered a new location? Then help other campers by adding them to the app.
2. Camping
Looking for a beautiful camping spot in nature? With the Kamperen app you can discover about 138 beautiful locations in the Netherlands and France. These are only natural areas, so don’t expect large family campsites. Peace, space and good sanitary facilities are given priority.
If you decide to camp at one of the locations in the app, it is important that you also have a Natuurkampeerkaart. You get this at Het Groene Boekje that you can buy at (travel) bookstores, or order it through this website.
3. ACSI Small & Fine Camping
Do you prefer a small campsite? Then you can easily find it in the app. Here you look for one campsite from the 2000 options, after which you can immediately reserve a spot. Do you like to go on the bonnet? By turning on location services, you can immediately see which small campsites are nearby.
In the app you can also see immediately whether there are motorhome pitches available. The app is free to use for a number of selected campsites, but if you want to find more campsites you will have to pull your wallet for that. You pay 2.99 euros for all camping information. If you also want access to the 9000 camper pitches, you pay 7.99 euros.
