Campspotter tells you whether a camping trip is actually worth it, before you drive three hours to find out. It's more than a weather app. Pick any spot on earth, set your dates, and Campspotter merges 40+ data sources into a single 0-100 score: hour-by-hour weather (temperature swings, wind, rain, cloud cover, humidity, UV, snow/frost levels, storm forecasts, etc.), terrain- and slope data, air quality & smoke data, satellite LiDAR, multispectral imagery, wildfire and weather alerts, sun and solar. All of this kind of data is normally locked behind specialized platforms is made readable in seconds. Every forecast is cross-checked across leading weather models, so you see a best-case and worst-case range, not just one optimistic guess. Compare a handful of spots side by side, then plan your route around the best ones. No more decoding ten-day forecasts in your head. HOW IT WORKS 1. Drop a pin anywhere on the planet. No campground database to limit you. 2. Pick your dates, up to a year out. 3. Get your Campspotter score, plus the day-by-day, hour-by-hour breakdown behind it. WHAT YOU GET • Campspotter score: one number, 0-100, for anywhere on earth and any date • A high resolution, 3D preview of your future campsite • Day-by-day, hour-by-hour breakdown: see exactly which day and which conditions will drag a trip down • When you get to your campsite, an hourly breakdown of the weather to come in the next hour, minute by minute. • Starlink coverage: know whether you'll have Starlink service at a spot, how good or bad it'll be, and what could be slowing it down. • Fall color forecast: see when the leaves will be turning so you can time your autumn trips. • Best-case and worst-case range: get insight from major forecast models, so you plan for the spread instead of betting on one guess • Side-by-side comparison: weigh several camps at once and route around the best • The most detailed topographic map out there: terrain, trails, buildings, points of interest, and off-road routes, worldwide • Wildfire & weather-alert awareness: active fires, evacuation notices, and emergency weather alerts surfaced right on the map and in your assessment • Trip planning: build multi-day trips, pick a campsite per day, set backup locations, and track how the forecast shifts • Solar calculator: estimate output for your panel setup, fixed or mobile • Works offline: most weather apps go blank without signal. Campspotter caches your scores, forecasts, and trips on the phone, so they're there at camp when the bars run out. WHO IT'S FOR Overlanders, off-roaders, van-lifers, RVers, and backpackers, plus anyone who'd rather show up prepared than gamble on a forecast. WHY WE BUILT IT The data that tells you whether a camp will be miserable already exists. It's just scattered across tools built for scientists, not for someone loading up the truck on a Friday. Campspotter pulls it together and turns it into one honest number, anywhere on earth in a matter of seconds.
