Know what a campsite is like before you drive there.
Every booking app answers "is a site free." None of them answer "is it worth being there." Camply scores 33,000+ campgrounds on live conditions, warns you about fire weather and freezing nights, and shows you reports from people standing at the site right now. Camping for the wise, from the team behind Snoflo.
Booking apps solve availability. Nobody solved "is it any good."
You can find out in ten seconds whether a campsite is reservable. You cannot find out whether the road in is washed out, whether it's under a Red Flag Warning, whether it will drop below freezing tonight, or whether the last person who stood there found it dusty and full.
Camply is built around that gap. Every campground gets a live 0–100 conditions score from the same engine behind the Snoflo web reports, with the drivers spelled out. Active National Weather Service warnings show up on the map and again inside every popup. And condition reports come from a phone that was physically at the campground — the app will not let you file one otherwise.
No account, no sign-up, no ads. The map, the score, the warnings, the reports, and the logbook are free. Pro exists for people who want to save and watch more than a handful of places.
What a booking app won't do
Each of these is a capability, not a feature. Recreation.gov, Hipcamp and The Dyrt tell you what's available; Camply tells you what it's like.
An objective conditions score
Every campground gets a live 0–100 score and a Rough-to-Prime band, computed from current and forecast weather at that exact point, with the plain-English drivers behind it. The same engine that powers the Snoflo web reports, so the app and the site never disagree.
One source of truthProximity-gated reports
You can only report conditions for a campground you are standing in. The app hides the button when you're too far, and the server independently refuses the submission — so a report is evidence someone was actually there, not a guess typed from a couch.
Verified by geographyFire weather and freezing nights
Set an alert on a campground and your phone watches it for you: Red Flag and fire-weather warnings, an overnight low crossing the temperature you pick, or the conditions score reaching Good or Prime. Freezing nights are the single most common way a trip goes badly wrong and the number people most often forget to check.
The 2am problemA stargazing forecast that works with no signal
Moon phase, moonrise and moonset, astronomical darkness, and cloud cover, computed entirely on your device. No network call, so it still works at a trailhead with no bars — which is precisely where you need it.
Nobody else has thisEverything Camply does
Camping map
33,000+ campgrounds, dispersed areas and RV sites on one map, with parks, points of interest and fishing spots as permanent layers you can tap.
Conditions score
A live 0–100 rating and Rough-to-Prime band for every campground, with the drivers behind it and the forecast that produced it.
Active NWS warnings
Red Flag, fire, excessive heat, high wind, storm and flood warnings drawn on the map and repeated in every feature popup.
On-the-ground reports
Twenty-five condition words — level site, road rough, water off, fire ban, buggy, filling up — filed only from inside the campground. Sites glow for 24 hours after a fresh report.
Condition alerts
One notification when a saved campground hits fire weather, a freezing overnight low, or the score you set. At most one per spot per six hours, no spam.
Dark sky forecast
Moon phase, true astronomical darkness and cloud cover for tonight, computed on-device so it works without a signal.
Hourly weather
The same meteogram the Snoflo app uses — temperature, precipitation, wind and sky — for the exact point you tapped.
Private logbook
Every report you file, with the conditions and weather exactly as they were at that moment. Yours alone, and recoverable if you reinstall.
From a federal forecast to the site you're standing in
Campground data
A curated database of campgrounds, dispersed areas and RV sites, enriched from public land-management records and OpenStreetMap.
Live weather
National Weather Service forecasts pulled for the campground's own coordinate, not the nearest city thirty miles down the valley.
Conditions score
A transparent 0–100 score per campground from those inputs, with the drivers spelled out rather than hidden.
The people there now
Reports from phones inside the campground, weather stamped on at submission, glowing on the map for 24 hours.

Terms of Service
- Informational use only. Camply presents environmental and recreational information (campground locations and attributes, weather forecasts, National Weather Service alerts, an estimated conditions score, astronomical calculations, and user-submitted observations) for general informational and trip-planning purposes only. It is NOT a navigation aid, emergency information source, official forecast or warning service, and it is not professional, safety, wilderness, or medical advice. For official forecasts, warnings, evacuation orders and fire restrictions, consult the National Weather Service and the agency that manages the land you are on.
- Camply does not book, reserve, or confirm availability. Camply is not a reservation service and has no connection to Recreation.gov, ReserveAmerica, or any booking platform. Nothing in the app indicates that a campground is open, that a site is available, that camping is currently permitted, or that you have any right to occupy a location. Always confirm openings, closures, permits, fees, quotas, and reservation requirements with the managing agency before you travel.
- Campground data may be wrong, outdated, or incomplete. Campground records are compiled from public land-management records, OpenStreetMap, and other third-party sources. Locations, access roads, facilities, and even a campground's existence may be inaccurate or out of date. Sites close seasonally, permanently, and without notice; roads wash out; gates lock; land changes hands. Some listed locations may be on private property or otherwise closed to the public. You are responsible for confirming that a location is public, open, and legal to camp in.
- Forecasts and scores are estimates, not measurements. Weather shown in Camply is model output from the National Weather Service, and the 0–100 conditions score is a derived estimate computed from it. Both routinely differ from actual conditions, sometimes substantially, and neither captures local terrain effects, cold-air drainage, canyon winds, microclimates, or rapid change. A high conditions score is not a statement that a location is safe.
- Fire and hazard information is not authoritative. Fire-weather indications, Red Flag Warnings and other alerts are relayed from public National Weather Service feeds and may be delayed, incomplete, or unavailable. Camply does not show fire perimeters, evacuation orders, closure orders, or fire restrictions, and the absence of a warning in the app does NOT mean there is no fire danger, no burn ban, and no closure. Never rely on Camply for fire, evacuation, or emergency decisions.
- Alerts are best-effort and must not be relied upon. Condition alerts are evaluated on your device by the operating system when it chooses to schedule background work. They can be delayed by hours, or not delivered at all, if your device is offline, low on battery, in Low Power Mode, has background refresh or notifications disabled, or if iOS defers the work. Camply is not a warning system and no alert, or absence of one, should factor into a safety decision.
- The outdoors is dangerous. Use at your own risk. Camping, hiking, driving on unimproved roads, and remote travel carry inherent risks including wildfire, flash flooding, lightning, extreme heat and cold, hypothermia, wildlife encounters, falling trees, impassable roads, and the absence of cell service or rescue. Conditions change rapidly and without warning. You are solely responsible for your own safety, preparation, and for independently verifying conditions against official sources. You assume all risk arising from outdoor activity and from any reliance on the app's content.
- Location and proximity gating. Reporting conditions requires your device to be within approximately 2,625 feet (800 m) of a campground, verified on our servers. This exists to keep reports honest and is not a safety feature. Location accuracy varies with terrain, tree cover and hardware, and the check may occasionally admit or refuse a report incorrectly.
- Subscriptions. Camply is free to download. Camply Pro is an auto-renewable subscription ($3.99/month or $24.99/year in USD; prices may vary by region and are shown in-app before purchase). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You manage and cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. There is no free trial. Purchases and refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store terms; we do not process payments or receive your payment details.
- Community reports. By submitting a report you grant Snoflo a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to display and distribute it in anonymous form. You agree to submit only truthful observations from your actual location. Reports are subjective observations by anonymous users, not verified facts, and we do not check them. We may remove any report and may restrict submissions from any installation at our sole discretion. Reports are rate-limited to 10 per installation per day.
- No warranty. Camply is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, availability, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app or its data will be uninterrupted, timely, current, or error-free.
- Limitation of liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Snoflo.org LLC, its members, officers, and suppliers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for personal injury, death, property damage, or economic loss, arising from or related to the app or reliance on its content. Our total aggregate liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted.
- Acceptable use. You may not misuse the app, including submitting false reports, probing or disrupting our services, scraping data at scale, or reverse-engineering the app except as permitted by law.
- Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold Snoflo harmless from claims arising out of your use of the app, your violation of these terms, or your outdoor activities.
- Changes. We may update the app, these terms, or discontinue features at any time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
- Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of the state in which Snoflo.org LLC is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect.
Privacy Policy
- No accounts, no tracking. Camply has no user accounts, no advertising, and no cross-app or cross-site tracking. We do not sell or share personal data with third parties for marketing.
- Location on your device. Your location is used to centre the map, show nearby campgrounds, compute the dark-sky forecast, and determine whether you are close enough to file a report. Camply requests location only while you are using the app; it does not track you in the background and does not record where you travel.
- Location when you file a report. When you submit a condition report, your coordinates are sent once over an encrypted connection. We use them to verify you are at the campground, to attach the report to the correct site, and to record the distance and the weather at that moment. Your coordinates are stored with the report on our servers. They are never displayed: a report appears against the campground it belongs to, and the map shows the campground, not you. We keep the coordinate rather than a blurred one because the campground is what gets shown, so blurring would degrade our own distance record without concealing anything a viewer could see. If you would rather it not be stored at all, do not file a report — everything else in the app works without one.
- Anonymous install ID. The app generates a random identifier on first launch, stored in your device keychain, and sends it with reports so we can rate-limit submissions and let you delete your own. It is not linked to your name, email, or any account, and we make no attempt to associate it with your identity.
- Reports. A published report contains the condition words you chose, a timestamp, the campground it was filed at, your distance from it, and the weather at submission time. Reports are shown publicly and anonymously; a campground is highlighted on the map for 24 hours after a fresh one. You can delete your own reports from your in-app logbook at any time, which removes them from our servers.
- Logbook. Your logbook is stored on your device. Because it is keyed to your anonymous install ID on our side, reinstalling the app can restore the reports you filed. It is visible only to you.
- Alerts. Campground alerts are evaluated entirely on your device. The campgrounds you are watching, and the thresholds you set, are stored locally and never sent to us.
- Payments. Camply Pro is billed by Apple. We never receive your name, card, or payment details, only Apple's confirmation that a subscription entitlement is active. We store no payment information.
- Email (optional). If you choose to sign up for updates, we store the email address you provide and use it only to send occasional product news. Unsubscribe anytime; write to info@snoflo.org to have your address removed.
- Feedback (optional). In-app feedback is transmitted with your install ID so we can investigate issues; it contains no identity information unless you include it yourself.
- Service providers. Map tiles are served by Mapbox, whose servers receive standard network request data (such as IP address) needed to deliver tiles; the Mapbox SDK may collect limited usage telemetry as described in Mapbox's privacy policy. Weather forecasts and alerts are retrieved from public National Weather Service services using approximate coordinates. None of these receive your identity from us.
- Retention. Reports persist in our database in anonymous, install-ID-keyed form until you delete them. Signup emails are kept until you unsubscribe. Server logs are retained briefly for security and debugging.
- Children. Camply is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
- Contact. Privacy questions: info@snoflo.org.
