### 3/5 — BLM land

*2025-08-01, version 2.3.1*

Way too hard to make reservations at govt campgrounds.

### 2/5 — Please update for 2025!

*2025-07-10, version 2.3*

It’s 2025. We need updated info for THIS YEAR.

### 2/5 — Peu d’information

*2025-04-25, version 2.3*

Tous les BLM ne sont pas inscrits, et ceux qui le sont il y a très peu d’informations. dommage.

### 3/5 — BLM

*2024-07-22, version 2.2.54*

Can’t find number of sites at each campground and amenities at each site Also site doesn’t recognize where I am

### 3/5 — Hard to find my location

*2024-07-08, version 2.2.54*

All the info is great but the show my location arrow doesn't work well. It makes it hard to figure out which camps you are near.

### 4/5 — Great info. Needs better visual definition of state boundaries

*2024-04-02, version 2.2.54*

The roads and state boundary lines all look the same. When I'm looking at a place, im often confused as to what state Im looking in.

### 2/5 — BLM land

*2024-03-13, version 2.2.54*

I don’t find this app helpful for finding BLM land other than campgrounds. Very disappointed!

### 3/5 — BLM update needed

*2023-11-15, version 2.2.54*

There are many BLM sites that do not show up on this app.

### 4/5 — BLM land missing in Texas

*2023-08-23, version 2.2.54*

Where is the Crossbar BLM land in Texas?

### 4/5 — Not so great

*2023-03-23, version 2.2.53*

The weather info does not display, just says 502 Bad Gateway. Also it would be nice if the campground information contained the open dates. Still have to go to the BLM site for that. Last issue is that the camp locations often say “Disbursed Camping” when they are actual campsites is not disbursed per the BLM site.
It does have great content, shows all the BLM and USNF sites

### 2/5 — Time

*2022-12-09, version 2.2.53*

Not totally user friendly. Need more time to acquaint myself with this app.

### 5/5 — This is it!

*2022-09-12, version 2.2.53*

If you prefer more remote camping, if you’d like to find hiking and biking trails, if you just want to bum around the National Forest / BLM scene, this is your App.

### 1/5 — SS cc y  ed as sad

*2025-12-23, version 2.3.1*

York

### 1/5 — Lack of pertinent information

*2025-08-31, version 2.3.1*

Very limited information regarding campsites.

### 1/5 — I want my money back!

*2025-07-05, version 2.3*

This is a stupid app and does nothing! You have to load your own maps in? Seriously!

### 1/5 — Don't get this unless you're on the west coast

*2024-07-16, version 2.2.54*

This app is not worth the money. They don't give you any options for camping east of the Rio grande essentially.

### 1/5 — Do not purchase

*2024-06-30, version 2.2.54*

Horrible app!!! Don’t buy!!! This app does not show even an 1/8 of blm land !!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-04-03, version 2.2.54*

Literally does not show anything. Even with filters turned on. Maybe im doing something wrong but so far it has no use at all.

### 1/5 — Not Worth Paying For

*2023-01-15, version 2.2.53*

So I’m currently at a long established and popular BLM campground, discovered through friends. Decide to buy this app as the other 5 apps I have don’t really show BLM land and campgrounds. This app doesn’t even show the BLM campground I’m at despite choosing BLM campgrounds in the filters!!!

### 1/5 — Hack-Job of an app

*2022-09-26, version 2.2.53*

It’s quite rough around the edges; seems like some vlookup of a BLM csv file interposed with map. Not worth the $1 by a gsx mile — or a crows path!

### 1/5 — you can do better

*2022-04-14, version 2.2.47*

janky. not intuitive. hard to find campground info in map mode

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2022-01-18, version 2.2.46*

I want my money back. This app is no good because it doesn’t show if the campground is open.  Thanks. Jean Dalton

### 5/5 — Best app for on the road USFS campsite finding

*2026-06-14, version 2.3.1*

Just an awesome, must have app.

### 5/5 — Worth every penny, all 99 of them!

*2025-09-30, version 2.3.1*

I bought this app because of the developer’s reply to the review comparing it to a $10 app. That was so refreshing and made me laugh! The app itself is intuitive and so easy to use, and provides an excellent starting point for finding off the beaten path camp sites. That said, I am a bit disappointed there’s no button to start brewing the next pot of coffee from my couch. 😀

### 5/5 — Mingus campground

*2025-08-05, version 2.3.1*

Good spot next to scenic view for RV camping. Near to restroom and disposal dumpster bin. Negative is watch for too many flies and bees but didn’t bother us. Be still. You will be ok! Use canopy with screens or bug repellent. Weather is excellent and cool at nights. Propane grills and fire pit recommend.

### 5/5 — God Bless 🙏🏻🕊️

*2025-03-06, version 2.2.54*

Am currently homeless escaping an abusive family environment, mother is an addict and step father suffers from extreme alcoholism. Have always wondered where it would be legal and appropriate to stay. This app has helped me, as of now, more in the first ten minutes or so of purchasing it than actual blm websites. Especially considering the free blm maps are very confusing since they use a color system and I am colorblind. Bless this state and all its natural beauty! 🙏🏻✝️🕊️🥹

### 5/5 — Current!

*2024-05-08, version 2.2.54*

Current, accurate, local!

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2024-03-02, version 2.2.54*

And very useful. Would love to see Corps of Engineers campgrounds too.

### 5/5 — Pretty darn cool and it’s free!

*2024-01-24, version 2.2.54*

Well worth the money! Lol!

### 5/5 — First place I go to discover USFS camp sites

*2023-10-16, version 2.2.54*

Just an awesome, must have app.

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2023-05-16, version 2.2.54*

This app is easy to use, and doesn’t collect any of your personal information.

### 5/5 — Pratique

*2023-02-06, version 2.2.53*

Nous apprécions les blm , autonomes , nous les fréquentons beaucoup
