I paid...for nothing
I was charged for yearly subscription after my trial ended. The upgrade was not reflected in my app and the support team said they had many reports of the same issue but could do nothing about it. They do have a thorough database of campgrounds, however only the most popular ones have reviews or information and I can google that. I had to google anyway to find contact/reservation information for the campgrounds. I could not access that from the app. Perhaps this would have been remedied with the “PRO” version but again, I was charged for that without seeing the benefits of it, and of course they have a policy against refunds.

I WAS LET DOWN...IT OFFER NO PRIMITIVE SPOTS ONLY CAMPGROUNDS
My wife and I were pumped to finally get an app that would show us new primitive camping spots only to be let down by the dyrt app. I downloaded the app after seeing their instagram account which looks great and portrays primitive and outlander camping. However, after my wife and I downloaded the app we soon found that the only camp grounds that it provided were KOAs and other campgrounds that are not primitive at all and can easily be found on a google search. We have lived in Utah for a very long time and have found many great primitive spots to camp and we were hoping to find more by using the “number 1 camping app” as they claim. It was disappointing to see that they didn’t even have the primitive camping areas that are popular here in Utah on the app, let alone anything new for us to try. Their Instagram is very misleading and not what you get, at least here in Utah. I would happily re-download the app if I found out that they changed their app to provide primitive spot and not just campgrounds that I can find on google. Don’t waste your time!

Hi there, Thanks for giving The Dyrt a go. Not sure if you saw it, but we do offer a "Dispersed" search filter that pulls up dispersed, primitive and BLM land. In Utah, for example, 162 locations pop up when the "dispersed" filter selected. Our camping community of campers across the country, is busy uploading new campgrounds everyday, and you are certainly welcome to contribute using the "Add a Campground" or "Add a Review" button: https://thedyrt.com/add-campground or https://thedyrt.com/find-to-review. We hope you'll return in the future!
Too close for comfort
While traveling for a work project, I decided to check out a few campsites in the area for my next work travel dates. Researched the sites via the app, checked out those of interest, and saved them. Two days later, I received an email from Head of Audience Development, The Dyrt. The email noted my search and my alleged travel dates as well as the trip may have ended. I am sorry but you are too close for comfort. I have Yelp. I have TripAdvisor! Every hotel app where I am Diamond, Spire, Titanium status. None respond to my searches or conclude that my travel ended and inquire on details based on a search. I am an Apple user for many reasons one being it is not Google. I bought into your Pro and for that I am regretful. This never happened before that.

Excellent
The most comprehensive and informative app of its kind. Useful, accurate, and user-friendly. It is my go-to that quickly provides enough of the right information to make decisions about campgrounds and even the best sites are often embedded into the reviews.
I just a received a what-if survey from them today. They’re apparently exploring a pro version that includes the campground maps of 40,000 campgrounds. Currently there’s a link to the campground website but that can often be clumsy and frustrating. Looks like they are integrating the ability to search for availability and book within the. Hopeful speculation. I have no knowledge but that’s not a bad what-if.
Thanks guys. Keep up the good work!

Hello, it is awesome to hear you are enjoying The Dyrt app! Thanks so much for your support! We're working on a ton of new features and upgrades for The Dyrt, which we can't wait to share. Keep your eyes peeled for those details and please reach out if we can improve your experience on the app.
Wish it listed prices
We just got off a monthlong RV camping trip through the Southwest states. We used another app which worked beautifully but it never hurts to try another, right? Although I love the feature that allows you to filter for those amenities specific to your needs, it does not give any indication of prices. We have found that costs can vary greatly depending on the location. We do a lot of boondocking and look for inexpensive camping along the way so I don’t want to go through individual listing websites to determine fees. After all, you’re likely searching at the end of a day of traveling. At least we are. Much better when there is an indication of cost on the listing so I don’t waste my time on looking at high-priced RV campgrounds.

Saved Us From A Bear
This app was literally a lifesaver. Me and some friends had planned to camp near the Tetons but there was a bear mishap at our campsite where the bear ripped a hole in a tent and tore of their side mirror 😬. Sooo we weren’t allowed to stay there, obviously. I was able to pull up this app and it located other campsites near by. We were able to call and see if they had open spots. We even ended up closer to the Tetons than we had originally planned. It’s also FREE! So we were “happy campers”. 😉👌

The Most Useful Tool for a Roadtrip
I met some of the great people from The Dyrt around two years ago when they were just getting started. I have been using the app for all my explorations around the country as a travel adventure photographer ever since. On a lonely late night right across Utah I was even able to find a camp spot to pull off to when continuing to drive would have been just to dangerous. Huge advocate of this app and all the new features they roll out as it grows. I’m a Dyrt Bag for sure!

Best camping app!! #forthecampers
I have to say, I’ve been skeptical of camping apps becoming a thing, bc we all really want to get away from people when camping, not let everyone know where we’re hiding.
But here we are, the digital age- no escaping!!! At least I can successfully find which campsites are hard to get to, less populated and require hiking. I’ve been waiting for an app that gives me all these goodies. If you’re as tired as I am of scouring the web for multiple answers about a campsite- No more!!! This app gives phone #’s, websites, *amenity details* (dogs, toilets) and focuses on the campers reviews! The dynamic map is STELLAR, I can SAVE tent sites I love and reference later, and even find out whether a campsite is paid only or offers first-come. I also just discovered reviewers gain points and can win gear!!! Amazing. Thank you the Dyrt!!

Hi Alexandra, thanks for the feedback. We understand the hesitation behind sharing your favorite campgrounds online, but we're so glad you're helping to make the experience even better for campers like you! We appreciate it. Happy camping!
Travel made easy!!
As a travel blogger I find so often one of the toughest things to do is not planning activities in an area but instead planning on where I will be camping. A lot of resources online but with all those resources it can get a little overwhelming and sometimes still you can be deceived.
I stumbled upon this app and their website as a part of one of those attempts to find camping in an area I was not familiar with. I liked what I saw on the website in regard to real people giving real feedback and decided it was worth the download.
The app changed my perspective on finding campsites for myself as a tent camper and allowed me a more concise way to browse areas as campers just like me were giving feedback, providing helpful tips for those areas and sharing their experiences. It felt like a community designed for campers instead of RVers and that was amazing!
I liked the bold use of larger aesthetics on each page to display amenities, encouragement of photos from campers not just of their campsite but what they did in the area and even some of the gear they used was highlighted!
This is now in my travel staple apps!!

Great Campsite Locator and travel planner
I’ve been using The Dyrt since shortly after it came out and it is my go to app when camping. I love that I can run a search for “camping near me” when traveling and I can almost always find a campground for the night, anywhere I am. I also like that new sites are added all the time by users like me. They have added some great new options like the ability to make lists for trip planning. I tell everyone I meet, including campground hosts about the app! The campground reviews are mostly very helpful and include useful intel about campgrounds so I know white places I want to pitch my tent and which places I might want to avoid (because negative reviews are just as helpful as positive reviews).
