It’s ideal for that use. But it’s so badly optimised, at least on a 17 Pro, that it eats through battery life and causes my phone to overheat. I’d recommend ensuring you’ve got access to a charger while using this app, as it’s a fiend for it. Close it from the app drawer when you’re done too. ### 2/5 — Missing basics *2026-04-12, version 5.5.0* Maps difficult to navigate. No satellite views. Missing basic information important to camping such as fireplaces, animals allowed etc etc ### 2/5 — Ever heard of an app downgrade? *2026-01-06, version 5.1.0* Not sure what happened, but the app has just gotten so ridiculously stupid to navigate after the update. Things take forever to load. And the option to sort by self contained vs non self contained seems to be gone? Also, NONE of the directions to campsites seem to be correct. Is it just me??! ### 2/5 — Mala actualización *2025-12-20, version 5.1.0* Desde que se actualizó hace unos días y cambió de formato anda terriblemente mal para Nz ### 2/5 — Why change it? *2025-12-15, version 5.1.0* I loved this app. It’s now completely changed, and not easy to use. Why fix what ain’t broke? ### 1/5 — What have you done *2025-12-13, version 5.1.0* I updated the app and it’s all changed. Hard to use and unclear to find places. I have been using the app for years. Now I will have to try another app ### 1/5 — hard to use comparing to old version *2025-12-13, version 5.1.0* useful functions removed and unusable functions added, deleting this trash app ### 2/5 — Dissappointed at recent changes *2025-12-10, version 5.1.0* This WAS our favourite app for pet friendly free campsites, but recent changes to the app has made it more cumbersome and frustrating ### 2/5 — New update sucks *2025-12-04, version 5.1.0* Why fix something that isn’t broken? Hate having to re-download maps on every trip and the new version is much less user friendly. ### 1/5 — Ruined *2025-11-26, version 5.0.0* The latest update has ruined the app. It’s all looks and poor functionality. Tons of places / campsites have been lost, a lot of campsites directions don’t work, LPG gas’s refill and swap filter has been removed, indications for walk in only access campsites have been removed (so u think every single place is a drive in campsite), many relevant reviews also got lost during the update, the map is slow and buggy, sometimes advanced filters don’t even work. It’s all looks and no actual better functionality or user experience. “Make the app look better but preform worse” in a nutshell. ### 1/5 — Atroce *2025-11-26, version 5.0.0* La dernière version est juste atroce svp rendez nous la précédente ### 2/5 — Review *2025-11-24, version 5.0.0* Not users friendly ### 1/5 — New version demolished greatness *2025-11-22, version 5.0.0* I hope this app gets back to at least the same level it used to be on the older version, because this is almost useless. It changes filters by itself while scrolling the map, slow to load the results, worse graphics. ### 1/5 — Update is horrendous *2025-11-19, version 5.0.0* Was perfectly fine before now it’s really unwieldy. ### 1/5 — Update Made it Worse! *2025-11-16, version 5.0.0* I loved this app until it was updated recently and it has now lost its main ability to search for a location and see all the campsites on the map - instead it shows as a list and I can’t see where they are located in comparison to eachother. It’s now useless. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not show anything *2026-08-10, version 5.5.0* It doesn’t show me any free camping spots anymore in whole Australia. Some kind of bug. It worked before for me ### 1/5 — App won’t open and support don’t respond. *2026-05-30, version 5.5.0* I downloaded the app and opened it to set up my account. I couldn’t get past the first page. I messaged the support people on the app and then emailed a few days later. Nearly a week later and still no response. Really poor customer support. ### 1/5 — Difficulty Loading Campsites *2026-05-13, version 5.5.0* You literally cannot load campsites 90% of the time. The app works once and then the next time I open the app to use it I cannot find any campsites even though I can see they exist on the CamperMate website. So annoying!! ### 1/5 — Dosent work *2026-03-14, version 5.4.0* I can’t get past the first page ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-02-04, version 5.2.0* Before it was my favorite application for road trips now it is too complicated to use it was yet so simple before too bad ### 1/5 — Strange *2026-01-15, version 5.2.0* I want to “Hire a Motorhome”. It just wants to show me places to camp. ### 1/5 — Bad service *2026-01-12, version 5.2.0* Keeping money from clients With no service ### 1/5 — BookIt bookings are not good *2026-01-05, version 5.1.0* I’d never heard of BookIt before booking a site through CamperMate. I accidentally booked two nights at a site they manage bookings for. I tried to cancel before checking in but neither the campsite nor CamperMate/BookIt was helpful and no refund was offered. ### 1/5 — Bring back the old app *2025-12-14, version 5.1.0* Please! ### 1/5 — New update is TERRIBLE! *2025-12-13, version 5.1.0* It used to be so easy to find what you wanted through the filters. Now the app barely recognises where I am and hardly any of the know amenities show up any more. Disappointing ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Top and very practical *2026-03-31, version 5.5.0* I have been a user of the application since last year and since the last update the application is even better! I am delighted to use it on a daily basis ### 5/5 — Bugs *2026-03-18, version 5.4.1* Good app, but when using the filtering on map many places wont show up randomly, so sometimes you get stuck trying to make them show up ### 5/5 — Lyndal *2026-01-31, version 5.2.0* Very informative and easy to use app ### 5/5 — 南岛旅行靠它存活 *2026-01-06, version 5.1.0* 我不喜欢book 任何hotel，但是这个app 让我体验到了什么是露营生活，圣诞期间一个月，我几乎每天都在换营地。 ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-11-06, version 4.12.43* Been using CamperMate across Australia and New Zealand for a few years now and always been happy with it. ### 5/5 — Couldn’t have found anything without it! Worked great for us. *2025-10-29, version 4.12.43* Such a simple and informative app. We used it everywhere to find Freedom camps and paid camp sites. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Happy *2025-08-11, version 4.12.43* Looks like one of the best ### 5/5 — Very nice and simple to use *2025-07-07, version 4.12.41* Excellent ### 5/5 — Must have app *2025-05-15, version 4.12.40* Best app to have while travelling in NZ! 🇳🇿 every campsite listed, free or paid, can’t fault the app in anyway! ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-05-01, version 4.12.39* Easy to use lots and lots of info --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
