WikiCamps Australia

Without any doubt this is my favourite app, and with the new updated version it’s even easier and faster to use. We have been traveling full time with our caravan throughout Australia for the past four years and during that time WikiCamps has saved us thousands of dollars in accomodation fees by the ability to check out the cost as well as the desirability of all of the caravan and camping sites in a specific area quickly and easily. Not only do the customer review section provide a good range of opinions, but the photo section also provides a great insight as to what an area has available and the site details provides all of the essential information you need to make bookings. But what makes this app so really invaluable to me is the ability to click on the directions link for a specific location and switch straight to Google maps for turn by turn GPS guidance.

We have been using WikiCamps for 5 years and are very happy with it. Not surprisingly our main use is finding camping sites and the filter feature makes that very easy to locate what we are looking for and it is good to read other user’s reviews. We like to free camp when we can but we accept that is not always possible and WikiCamps lets us see the full gamut if available options. We also use Trip Planner and find it a great planning tool. I also like the ability to label sites as favourites. I do not find the crow’s flies distances an issue. After a recent phone update WikiCamps would not update. I contacted WikiCamps and had a total of 3 very quick replies to try to address the situation. Even though it may have been a phone fault they were able to resolve the situation. Amazing service. Thanks WikiCamps.

We travelled over from WA to Queensland last August via the top. Whilst here between visiting family and housesitting we have done a number of trips - one to the goldfields, one to Cape Tribulation, to the Gemfields via Bowen, and back to Brisbane -over 4,000 kms. WikiCamps made it so easy to plan these trips. I found breaking them down into stages made it more manageable. The information available on location, site details, photos, users comments (very helpful), what’s around made it so much easier to do and you can edit it as much as you like to plan your trip. The make public feature is great too as I can share my trip with my family overseas, and now I’ve found out how to print my trips I can keep a hard copy together with photos. A very useful app, highly recommended. Well done everyone.

I have been using WIKI for I think 7 years and each year travel around Australia I think approx 20,000 Kilometres plus, I have had I believe 3 upgrades. Each upgrades have been sensational and helpful. WIKI keep on doing what your doing it’s the best in Australia 🇦🇺. No where else can you get reviews, pictures, full descriptions of camps sites, including pet friendly, where you can get 💦 water goes on and on including Maps when driving to destination, showing Free Camping and National Parks, what other gives you all of this on Phone or iPad. Oh cost so cheap, to the whinging idiots get a life and stop complaining WIKI is my bible on the road. Keep improving I love having you on my journey thanks again.🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I used to like WikiCamps but on a trip earlier this year to the north of WA and to the NT, I became very disappointed with it. I ended up not using it or relying on it. My 2 main problems: 1) The inaccuracy of the details. Many sites weren’t anywhere near the location they were attached to. 2) There were many entries for obscure camping spots behind a rock or at the turning left when you see the black Tyre marks on the road. They were impossible to find. BUT they completely left out or ignored the legal 24 hr stopovers. I remember trying to find one secret little spot but had no luck so decided to pull over in a parking bay/rest stop as it was getting late as WikiCamps was of no help. In the morning, 30 kms down the road was a 24hr stopover which was not mentioned at all. I’ve also found it difficult to update site details because there was no Internet access and it wouldn’t allow me to update the site details at a later date. It seemed that you had to be at the site in order to update it. Have been looking around for a better app for my next road trip. Will try Free Range Camping.
