## Description

Boondocking helps you find free camping spots even when you're offline. It crowdsources 2,100+ locations (primarily in the US) and stores data locally so you can explore without internet.

Key features include offline location details, driving distance/time from your current location, multiple map types (OpenStreetMap supported), the ability to mark favorites, get local weather, discover nearby hiking and biking, view Flickr photos when available, apply filters (water, toilets, big rig friendly, etc.), and share location data with our Road Trip Planner app. No login or subscription is required.
