Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CampingKit at Free against Camping List's $3.99. CampingKit also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 63%) and update cadence (daily vs every 9 months). Camping List's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.2). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
