Top 5 Camping Apps to Celebrate Nationals S’mores Day

National S’mores Day is August 10, and there’s no better way to celebrate than by making a few marshmallow-y desserts over an open fire. Head outdoors this weekend for a belated celebration with help from our five favorite camping apps.

RV Parks & Campgrounds

This app is designed to help you find RV parks, public parks, and military campgrounds to park your RV. The app lets you search for other nearby amenities, like gas stations, rest areas, and stores, so you can find the RV park that provides the services you need.

REI — Shop Outdoor Gear

REI has long been a big name in outdoor equipment. The REI app helps you outfit your next outdoor adventure. If you’re preparing for a camping trip, you can use the app to order items to be delivered to your door or to be held for you at your REI store. The app also lets you browse customer reviews and product videos to see if an item really fits your bill.

Free Campsites

While some prime campsites can be pricey, the Free Campsites app lets you search for campsites that cost under $12 per night. The app usually highlights campsites on public lands, including land owned by the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Wildlife Management Areas. The app’s content is user-generated, so if you find a free campsite you love, add it to the app for other users to find.

Camping Checklist

One of the biggest hassles about camping is forgetting the necessities at home. The Camping Checklist app simplifies camping packing by giving checklists to make sure you’ve packed the right camping supplies. You can find pre-loaded checklists for camping, First Aid, and Tent camping already in the app, and can also sync your checklists with other campers on your trip.

Good Sam Camping

Another RV park finding app, Good Sam Camping gives you directions and information about 14,500 RV parks and campgrounds in North America. This app lets you search for the RV park that best fits your bill. You can search RV parks by pet restrictions, swimming pool availability, seasonality, and RV hookups.
