Archies Camping Guide for Android
Excellent app for finding campsites, but also great for navigating while driving and walking. Saved us getting lost on Spanish footpaths. Five stars til it stopped working on my Lenovo Yoga tablet.
I was searching for an alternative camping app like wikicamps and found this one its really basic but shows a lot of campsites around Europe even in offline mode. I'd wish that this app becomes more like wikicamps for example that all users can add campsites, rate them and give comments. Also places of interest and attractions would make the travelling a lot easier. I loved this about wikicamps and wish to have it in europe as well. Cheers!
Hi Archie. App won't run on my meizu mx4 pro. Might an older version? Please help, desperately need the guide.
I have bought this based on reviews. I have to admit I was rather disappointed from minute one. I have searched the campings we have stayed in during a recent trip to Provence, Southern France. Well, surprise, NONE of them was in Archie's database! Well I could add them manually, but that's not what I expected, based on all the hype. I also find that the details for these campings are fairly minimalist. I would have liked an indication of their price range an facilities. Besides, I find that Archie is biased towards campers and camping cars, ignoring us people still using a tent. A second bias: not too many mountain campings on this list. UPDATE: Four months later, after the addition of many POIs, my campings are still not on Archie's list! And we're speaking of large, well established campings.
I'm amazed at how many campsites easily came up and all over the UK. Luckily the links have telephone numbers, otherwise it's many more clicks and Google searches trying to find more information and often Google can't find the actual campsite.. This is very time consuming and in some cases fustrating.. Plus I had no idea what the different color symbols meant, so had to check the website.. I found a place, then click all around the Internet looking for more information... Only to see the place I was looking at has no bathroom or electricity.. Just a field.. And wasn't even that cheap.. Other apps give far more information..e.g. All the symbols for its available amenities. I'll definitely use the app, but before I cycle all day, I'll have to call loads of places each trip to get the information... Rather than just pick one that suits my needs best, book it and go.. But 5 stars for the amount of campsites.. 3 stars as it's an app in process I imagine.. Thanks .Dan
Excelent app, used it on my trip around Europe, never missed a camping in my way.
It did not work on my new Android. No campgrounds showed at all. After sync
A fabulous app that is very comprehensive and helpful when planning any trip.
Keeps erasing downloaded maps
It's an accurate campsite finder. There's none better.
Nice little app, but a nice feature would be when you look at a campsite there was a link to its website.
Best campsite app going. Used it for months driving around Europe.
Can someone please explain the different colours of the sites? Can't find an explanation on app or on here
Great app easy to use
Fantastic app for little money.
and brilliant.
Good stuff. Choices of maps and don't need data to see where you are once downloaded.
Was working great until recent update..on my Nexus 7 the maps stop updating at 21%. Have uninstalled and re-installed, still the same. Reported to developer.
And getting better all the time. Moto G4.
Spot on every time...
Excellent source for camping, the best there is.
Please fix problems with memory I want to use external memory in offline mood but there is only option for internal. Me and my wife travel a lot around Europe and we are crossing sometime two or tree country in one day France, Belgium and Nederland or more. I got fast 64gb card - easy to fit all Europe, but after only France 2gb internal memory is gone. Please fix this issue. Then 5 stars for sure.
I find this App fantastic, so much so, it is the only one I use to find campsites. It gives me everything I need. What's better than that?
Struggled to install at first but now find it very helpful. Thanks for the help!
What is the difference between red A or green A. Otherwise, looks fantastic and I look forward to using on my upcoming trip.
Get it!
A must have app. When you do see something that needs sorting the developer is on the ball.
Have used before ,but this app. makes it simple to find a route during the winter months in france.
Never let me down.
Seems to rely on internet conn for maps
Useful
Use this source all the time for choosing my next site when touring in my motorhome.
Excellent
I tried this, and it seemed to show camp sites in Europe, but not in the U.S.A. I didn't see this in the description of the app. I apologize in advance if I somehow got this wrong.
Been using Archie's for a few years. Always my first port of call when looking for a site.
And getting better all the time. LifeTab, KitKat

As a caravaner who travels all over Europe (east & west) this is the first app I look up. It's the only reference info system to cover such a large area.
Used it on a camping trip to Alsace in France. Saves space taking guide books and the offline maps make it usable even without a phone signal. Well done great app!
by Q####:
The app works great. No need to plan your day. Just open it up when your ready to stop traveling. Dial it does work of line. Its still based on online maps. So you can see you. You can see the camps. You can't see the map. Or look up the camp for more info. Off line map would be great. Still you get enough info for the GPS and go. Limited in some Easter Europe countries. Spot on in western.
