## What is RV Dump Stations?

This app shows over 7,100 RV dump stations, most throughout the US. and Canada.  Includes rest areas, truck stops, KOAs, campgrounds, RV parks and more.

Dump station locations are displayed even when offline!

NO SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED. A one time fee and that’s it.

Dump station information is obtained from crowd-sourcing and are therefore subjective in nature. What one person describes as working another may describe as broken.

Features:
- Location database is included with the app, so all locations are visible when offline.
- Filter what type of location to display. For example, list only free dump stations from the filter.
- Show a route between your location and the selected RV dump station.
- View the dump stations in list view; easily search the list.
- Get the local weather for the location.
- Internet searches and more for each location.
- Database is updated monthly, subject to user submissions.
- Import routes from GPX files.  This makes it much easier to find RV dump stations along a route you've created in another app such as Road Trip Planner.
- Send a dump station location to our app Road Trip Planner.  This helps in routing your travels (requires separate purchase of the Road Trip Planner app).

We want to expand our RV dump station database as much as possible, so we have made it easy for you to easily submit a new RV dump station - simply tap the + button below the map.  

To correct or update dump station information, tap “Location Comment” in the detail view. We will be updating the database often.

Due to the nature of dump stations constantly changing their status it's recommended you contact the dump station prior to using it to verify its status.

### 2/5 — Adding site very difficult

*2026-07-25, version 1.3.401*

Coordinating pin and gps impossible. Wanted to add a site, but could not get pin & gps together. Cannot add gps, have to use pin.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2026-07-22, version 1.3.401*

Not one dump station is correct in my area so the rest of info must be worthless!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t show all dumps

*2026-06-28, version 1.3.401*

Come on people rest stop dumps aren’t even on here

### 1/5 — Too complicated; not intuitive

*2026-05-26, version 1.3.401*

I tried figuring out where dump stations were on our drive but couldn’t get anywhere on this app. 

I wish the had a button that said “find an open Rv dump station near me”. But they don’t 

In the end we just used Google to locate one near us.

### 1/5 — Leider nicht in Deutsch und leider ..

*2026-04-29*

Ich habe mir die App  runtergeladen damit ich sehe wo ich Entsorgenungsstationen finde. Ich finde sie nicht. Auf der Karte nicht übersichtlich

**Developer response:** This app show RV dump stations in the US and Canada, not Germany, sorry.

### 1/5 — Is closed

*2026-04-13, version 1.3.401*

Is closed

### 5/5 — He’s

*2026-03-02, version 1.3.401*

Great help - would like to receive updates tho

### 2/5 — Outdated

*2026-02-05, version 1.3.401*

Just purchased this app and already can tell that it is really outdated to the point that it’s almost useless. It shows locations that I know have been gone for many years as well as missing locations that have been around for years. $2.99 probably wasted.

### 5/5 — No Subscription

*2025-12-16, version 1.3.401*

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that this app is NOT a subscription!  Seems like every app now, no matter how trivial, has a subscription and it gets ridiculously expensive to keep up with them.

### 1/5 — Where is the dump station?

*2025-10-23, version 1.3.401*

Most useless app I have seen.  Has a map with nothing on it.  Can get a text list of sites but only helps if you know the place.  Can’t search by town!  I guess you can add them as you find them and build your own map!
