About
Scout is a private, offline field journal for the overnight spots you find on the road. Whether you are living the vanlife full time, car camping for a long weekend, overlanding into the backcountry or just chasing a quiet place to park for the night, Scout keeps your best spots in one place, on your phone, ready even when there is no signal.
MOST CAMPING APPS ARE A CROWD WAITING TO HAPPEN The good dispersed sites, the quiet pull-offs, the perfect boondocking spot down a forest road: the moment they hit a crowd-sourced map they fill up, get worn out and too often get closed for good. Scout takes the opposite approach. Your spots are yours. Nothing you save is ever shared, pooled into a public database or shown to another user. You build your own roster and you keep it.
DOWNLOAD WHOLE STATES, GO FULLY OFFLINE Pick a state and download it: high-resolution satellite imagery with the full road and trail network, all the way down to the smallest national forest and BLM two-track. It all lives on your device, so the map works the same on a forest road with no bars as it does at home.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Pin and rate the spots you find with your own on-the-ground notes: cell signal, how level the ground is, noise, privacy, road condition, whatever matters to you
- Track dispersed camping stay limits so you always know when it is time to move on
- Find public amenities from open map data: water, fuel, dump stations, groceries and more
- Follow routes offline, including imported GPX tracks (like Backcountry Discovery Routes)
- Get offline turn-by-turn driving directions to any spot with no connection
- See public land ownership and national forest boundaries right on the map
PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No login. No cloud of ours in the middle. Your spots, notes, ratings and routes sync privately across your own iPhone, iPad and Mac through your personal iCloud, where nobody else can see them, not even us. No ads, no trackers and no selling your data, because there is nothing collected to sell.
ONE PRICE, THAT IS IT Scout is a one-time $4.99 purchase. No subscription. No in-app purchases. No premium tier locking away the offline maps you already paid for. Buy it once and it is yours for good.
Made for vanlife, car camping, truck camping, overlanding, road trips and everyone who would rather keep their favorite places to themselves.

Offline maps are no longer included in your device backup, so they no longer take up iCloud backup space. Your saved spots and routes are unaffected.
