Camping America 8.0.1.4

Find the best camping spots all across the United States and Canada with a simple Windows Phone app
Those who are eager to spend a few days and nights outdoors to enjoy nature will be hitting the campgrounds on every occasion they get and since there are plenty of such places to choose from, picking the spots to pitch the tent can be a challenge itself.

To make it easier for you to decide towards which location to steer a mobile app like Camping America could come in very handy as it covers almost every site in the United States and Canada.

Simple and efficient layout designed for practical use

The attractiveness of this utility is almost lacking completely, as the looks are focused a lot on functionality and the graphics are not in any way impressive.

On the other hand, the content is structured fairly well and going through the configurations, browsing the list of facilities and reading the details can be carried out smoothly and without any lags.

The ever-present advertisement banners appear in the lower side of the screen and will follow you in every corner of the app, which can be quite bothersome as they are continuously changing.

Detailed configuration of every query for accurate results

Camping America can use your current location to spot the available facilities near your position, but you can use the manual search as well by specifying the desired starting point around which the application will look for camping sites.

The search radius ranges between 25 and 200 miles or kilometers, depending on the reference system you want to use. There are plenty of facility and amenity types you can choose from to narrow the query as much as possible, while the length of stay in that particular spot can be anywhere from one day up to 30 days.

Check out the location info and view photos before making a reservation

With the help of this app you can access relevant information about each camping location, view their placement on the map and read the detailed description of all the facilities they offer, as well as the nearby points of interest.

The photo section (where available) can also help you make up your mind whether to book a reservation for that particular location or keep on looking for another one.
