Very unfortunate new version
Update 6 months after original review:
I’m sad to say that 6 months later the situation with this app has not improved. No suggestions have been taken to heart and implemented, no positive changes appear to have been made. All the campsite listings are years old because they are user submitted and users are being driven away. Just another wonderful service sacrificed on the altar of greed.
There has been hardly any positive reviews since ownership changed hands and the app was changed. You would think this would wake them up but nope, nothing but fluff replies from HR to all criticisms.
Eventually they will come to find you can’t get rich off a bunch of campers and shut the whole thing down. All because someone with too much money thought he could turn a profit by turning something extraordinary into a minimum viable product. I wonder if at the end of it all they will reflect on the people whose lives they hurt along the way… probably not.
So sad to see this happen over and over again. A country full of people with God sized holes in them trying to fill it with money.
Original review:
As a full-time RVer, this app was my go-to for years. The recent update has completely gutted my traveling process. Everything I liked about this app is gone. The preview display when clicking on a site used to display a preview photo, most recent price and rating. It’s all gone, now you just have countless anonymous icons on the map and you have to pull up the full page for every one of them one at a time. You also can no longer copy coordinates to your maps program like you can with every other app on the planet.
These changes reek of decisions made by someone who has never relied on the app before. They also reek of greed. Campendium has always been a reliable free resource with valuable premium paid features. It is no longer a reliable free resource and I imagine many other apps will see an influx of traffic due to these new changes.
After recommending this app countless times, I will no longer be advising anyone to use this until the original spirit of the app is restored.

poor filtering
The filter feature on this app is weak. I simply wanted to find tent camping sights with hot showers.

Always shows right turn
The app really shines on a laptop but using the app on your phone is very difficult. Using it to navigate works in CarPlay and has worked well except that it always says to turn right even though it should say turn left. I have used it for navigation from Indiana to Utah and it has never told me to turn left one time. Definitely a bug.

Not sure what I even paid for
Well, at least I got it on sale. I really tried to find a point to this app but it doesn’t exist. I have turned off the renewal and chalked it up as a lesson learned. I guess I should have heeded the warnings in the YouTube videos.

Not useable
I’ve had this app for several years, and it used to be great. It seems like it’s been sold to another company, and I can’t even use it anymore. I will search an area that I know has RV parks, and nothing comes up. I end up just using Google Maps. It’s worthless and I won’t be renewing.
