Public-land camping · USFS · BLM · state · 42 states, coast to coast

10,000+ campsites on public land, and the backcountry tools to enjoy them longer —
all on one screen.

One screen, every tool. Pick any camp and get its topo and aerial, live weather, fire & smoke, and the nearest water, fuel, and dump — the whole picture you'd normally chase across a dozen apps.

The one place that brings the tools you actually use onto a single screen. Most sites are free dispersed camping; where a developed campground charges a fee, we label it. 249 camps are field-verified in person; the rest are honest leads from public-land data, clearly marked.

Why this doesn't exist yet

Every other app answers one question at a time.

iOverlander, Allstays, GasBuddy, Google — each one is good at a single category, measured from wherever your phone is standing. Nobody fuses the whole picture into one read for the camp you're actually going to.

One category, from your GPS

  • Sanidumpsa dump station — if you go looking for it
  • iOverlandercrowd pins — thin once the pavement ends
  • Googleone search at a time; won't stack 15 needs on a map

A tool in the kit — rig autonomy

Know how long your rig can stay out.

Tell us your tanks and supplies once, and this tool finds the one that runs out first — the day it sends you to town — then stacks the rest behind it like a dashboard. One of the tools on the site, tuned for how you travel.

The grey tank usually fills first — but not always. Cold snap? Propane. Jug camper with no tanks? Drinking water is the whole story. We compute it from your setup, not a generic RV — and once your rig is dialed in, this barely shifts camp to camp. The part that does change is the town run itself, and that's what the provisions map on every camp page is for.

The all-needs map

Everything you need, measured from camp — not your phone.

Every category at once, measured from the camp — that's the point. An honest gap is shown as a gap, never a hopeful pin. It's live on every Rockies camp nowsee a real one →

The full resupply stack, one map, anchored to the camp — not to you:

Gas, diesel & DEF Potable water Dump station Propane refill Grocery Pharmacy Hardware Rig-friendly mechanic Laundromat Shower Urgent care Air-up Outfitter Mail / general delivery Overnight-OK node
overlander-operational — the layer Google has no idea about

No checked dump within 90 minutes? We badge it UNKNOWN and tell you — we won't route you 60 miles to a pin that might be gone.

The trust engine

We'd rather say "we don't know" than send you 60 miles wrong.

One wrong pin at the end of a dirt road is a tow, or worse. So every fact carries how we know it, and how fresh it is. Same honesty machinery on the pins and, later, the forecast.

Verified

Checked, recently

Confirmed against a live source or a fresh report. Safe to route on.

Likely

Good signal, not confirmed

Chain policy or a solid tag says yes, but we haven't verified this exact spot.

Stale

Was true once

An old report. Shown so you know it exists — never used in a supply run.

Unknown

We won't guess

No trustworthy source. Badged plainly instead of faked into a pin.

Every attribute gets a source — OSM tag, chain policy, state law, or a crowd report — and an "as of" date. Stale and Unknown are visible, but they never route.

Before you go dark

Save the whole camp, offline.

Not a map rectangle — the card, the NF rules, the full stack with drive-times, your rig's autonomy, and every freshness stamp, frozen as of the moment you saved it. Signal dies past the cattle guard; the saved card keeps working, it just can't update.

Offline is free here — a competitor puts it behind a paywall.
The paid layer, later

The timing edge rides on top.

The logistics stay free. The paid delta is the operational overlay — a weather go-window for the drive-in, road passability, fire legality — plus done-for-you trip planning. Decision support for living on public land, not travel advice.

Brief

One camp, one verdict, one run — done for you.

Corridor Plan

A whole route's worth of bases and resets.

Season Rotation

Where to be, and when, across a season.

Gathered and being enriched with the overlander details that actually matter — refill vs. exchange propane, DEF, refill-anywhere pharmacies, rigs a mechanic will touch. We started in the Rocky Mountain West and are expanding state by state — now live from the West Coast across the Southwest, Texas, the South and Midwest, Appalachia, New England, and Alaska. No region goes live until the data earns it. Resupply data © OpenStreetMap contributors.

Out there — where the tool got built.
Who's behind it

Built by someone who lives it.

I'm Dave Lalande — @davelalande. I've spent years overlanding and living on free federal land: national forests, BLM, the places with no hookups and no cell bars.

This is the tool I kept wishing existed at the trailhead — the one that does the autonomy math and the town-run logistics in my head, honestly, for my rig. I'll tell you plainly what's checked and what's a guess. That honesty isn't a feature; it's the whole point.
