Five Great Apps No Camper Should Go Without

Whether it’s your first time or your 100th time, camping is tremendous fun for millions of Americans everywhere. If you want to make the most of your camping experience while avoiding potential pitfalls, consider getting these five convenient mobile apps to help you master the outdoors.

 

The Weather Channel (Free)

Few things can ruin a camping trip worse than bad weather. This free, well-designed app utilizes a GPS feature that tracks exactly where you in order to provide up-to-date future forecasted information. You can check hourly details, the humidity rate, UV index, when the sun will set and rise, and even what the weather will feel like.

 

ViewRanger Outdoors ($14.99)

The chances of getting lost outdoors is high, and even a map app may be unhelpful. The state-of-the-art ViewRanger can not only locate your exact location with GPS, but you can store maps offline in case you lose signal. The maps are better quality than many default ones you’d get in your average map app, as they include useful contour lines. You can even load previous trails in order to determine which route is best to take.

 

Camp Where ($4.99)

Finding the right location is vital to ensuring a successful camping experience, especially if you plan to stay overnight. This app is designed to help you locate (and in some cases even reserve) public camping grounds in North America by showing you local sites near your position. With information on over 11,000 public campgrounds, you are very likely to find the perfect place to pitch your tend.  

 

Commander Compass (Free)

The compass is one of the most vital and quintessential tools in camping, and this app allows you to utilize one from the convenience of your phone. In addition to its incredible accuracy, Commander Compass offers many useful features, such as allowing you to track the position of locations and find out distances and elevations to your destination.

 

iSurvive Wilderness ($1.99)

This app provides vital resources for getting through your camping experience, even in the even of an emergency. You’ll find helpful advice for all sorts of camping basics, including detailed photo illustrations on setting snares, starting fires, first aid, and many life-saving instructions.
