The Camping App is for all campers - whether motorhome, caravan, towing vehicle, van or tent. Apps like park4night are aimed mainly at motorhome and van drivers; caravans and tents are often overlooked there. Compared with the ADAC camping guide or Stellplatz-Radar by Promobil, the Camping App offers a much wider range: from free, legal parking to classic pitches and campsites, and on to private pitches with vintners, farms and hosts. All pitches are checked and legal. In addition, the app brings together pitches from partners like Vansite, Alpaca Camping and Nomady - if you want, you can simply switch them off. - Is the Camping App free? In the free trial version, all pitch data is visible without limitations. The Pro version with lots of extra features is a one-time purchase with no subscription: pay once, use forever, all updates included. - How often is the data updated? All the time. New pitches, photos and reviews are added daily - we review everything and usually publish the same day. - Is there personal support? Yes, directly from the makers - you can reach us via WhatsApp, email or SMS :) 60,000+ pitches & campsites · 52 countries · more every day.
