Campound vs Boonpoint

Find a spot on your public lands. Campound maps national parks, national forests, BLM land, and wilderness — along with the trails, forest roads, and OHV routes that run through them — and helps you find a place to camp. Built to keep working offline, because the best camping is exactly where the cell bars disappear. Plan it on Wi-Fi. Live it off-grid. FIND A SPOT Search reservable campgrounds by date range and see live Recreation.gov availability — the nights actually open, not just a directory. Tap any site for info, ratings, reviews, and an availability calendar. KNOW WHOSE LAND YOU'RE ON Color-coded PAD-US ownership shows national parks, forests, BLM, wilderness, monuments, and state, local, tribal and private land at a glance, with a toggleable legend. Essential for dispersed camping. PLAN A TRIP Build a trip from any mix of campgrounds, trails, forest roads, OHV and BLM routes, and your own points and lines. Drop in a driving route and Campound finds the campgrounds along the corridor with availability — or skip pavement entirely and stitch an off-piste itinerary that never touches a developed site. TRAILS & ROUTES Tap National Forest trails, Forest Service roads, OHV and BLM routes, search them in the current view, and open any route for an elevation profile with gain, loss and distance. NAVIGATE THERE Turn-by-turn navigation to any campground, trailhead, or marked point — voice prompts, ETA, live drift-recalc. The hybrid router drives the paved portion via Mapbox, then takes over with its own A* across Forest Service, BLM, and OHV roads that mainstream nav apps don't cover. The off-road portion runs on the bundled tiles, so you keep going when the signal doesn't. On a trail destination, it switches to follow-the-polyline mode with off-trail and approaching-end cues. MAP IT YOUR WAY Four basemaps — Street, Topo, Satellite, and an offline coordinate Grid. Locate yourself with one tap, jump to any place by search or coordinates, and save campgrounds, rec areas, routes, and your own points to Favorites with optional 1–5 star ratings. MARK YOUR OWN Draw points, lines and polygons styled by a customizable dictionary of pin types, capture GPS as you move, and pin geotagged photos that cluster on the map and open in a carousel. Saves on-device; syncs when online. Export points, lines and full-res photos as a single .campound archive and share via Mail, AirDrop or Files. Import any .campound (Skip or Update on duplicates, IDs preserved). The underlying GeoJSON opens in QGIS, Google Earth, or any GIS tool. Your data is yours. iPHONE, iPAD & APPLE WATCH Universal app — one download, three devices. iPad gets side-by-side detail panels for planning a route on the couch. Apple Watch captures waypoints and tracks hands-free and mirrors the phone's live turn-by-turn with haptics 400 m before each turn, on completion, and at arrival. A guaranteed-delivery outbox means nothing your watch records is ever lost. WORKS OFFLINE Maps for all 50 states ship inside the app — no download step. The map, saved spots, trail search, and the off-road portion of navigation all keep working with no connection. The basemap falls back to a coordinate grid when signal drops and restores when you're back. (Live availability, place search, and paved-road routing need a signal — Campound tells you clearly when they do.) FREE. NO ACCOUNT. No subscription. No ads. No account to create. No tracking. Just open it and go. DATA YOU CAN TRUST Built on authoritative public datasets: Recreation.gov / RIDB for campgrounds, availability, and reviews; USGS PAD-US for protected-area boundaries; USFS and BLM for trails, roads, and routes; basemaps from OpenFreeMap, OpenTopoMap, and Esri; elevation from Open-Elevation; on-road directions from Mapbox. Campound is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by NPS, USFS, BLM, or Recreation.gov. Always confirm current regulations and conditions with the managing agency before you travel.

LIVE PUBLIC-LAND MAP Pulls real campsite data from Recreation.gov, US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, California State Parks, and OpenStreetMap. Color-coded pins show what's verified legal, likely legal, or unverified at a glance. VERIFIED TRIP JOURNAL Anyone can claim they camped somewhere. On Boonpoint you can only log a stay if your phone confirms you actually slept there — within 200 meters. Every entry in your trip journal is a place you woke up at, not a place you drove by. Photos, fuel cost, who you were with, mini map — export any trip as a PDF. COMMUNITY REVIEWS After a verified stay you can post how a spot was — and read what other travelers reported. Got the knock and had to move on? You can still leave a review. Water, dump, and propane spots can be reviewed too. Report or block anything off. BLM + USFS OVERLAYS (Pro) Amber polygons show BLM-managed land where dispersed camping is typically legal (14 days, 25-mile radius). Yellow lines show USFS motor vehicle routes — the only legal access for dispersed camping in National Forests. Tap any area for the full rules. OFFLINE REGIONS (Pro) Cell service is a lie at most dispersed sites. Download the spots in a region before you leave home — Boonpoint falls back to them automatically when you're off-grid. WEATHER + GOLDEN HOUR NOAA National Weather Service forecast and sunrise/sunset at every spot. Plan the drive so you arrive before dark. DIRECTIONS HAND-OFF One-tap to Apple Maps (CarPlay-ready), Google Maps, or Waze. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No analytics SDKs. No trackers. No ad IDs. Your trip journal syncs through your own private iCloud database — even we can't see it. The one thing that's public is community reviews you choose to post, which are shared with other travelers. Sign in with Apple is the only auth method, and only logging a verified stay needs it. —— Pricing —— Free forever for 50 spot views per month.
