## Description

Rankers Camping NZ provides the official New Zealand camping map with full offline capability. Find legal NZ camping locations across Aotearoa, supported by local communities, councils, the Responsible Camping Forum, Department of Conservation, i-SITE and Tourism NZ. The app works offline with maps and detailed info, includes 1,500+ campsites and 6,000+ points of interest, and lets you filter Top Ranked holiday parks, DOC and free sites using thousands of Rankers reviews. You can bookmark favorites, book campsites directly from the app, and travel with privacy—no data tracking.

Explore comprehensive details for each campsite: photos, rules, pricing, dump stations, activity deals, and essential traveller info like fuel, supermarkets, and free water. It also shows i-SITE and DOC centres, walking tracks with history and nature notes, and more POIs. You can contribute by adding photos and reviews to help others, and the app is proudly designed and developed in Aotearoa NZ by Rankers.

## Review summary

Users praise offline maps, the NZ camping database, and easy planning, calling Rankers Camping NZ indispensable for campervan trips. Recurrent drawbacks include stability issues, difficulties managing downloaded maps, and gaps where some sites are not listed. Overall, highly valued with room for reliability and map-management improvements.

### Pros

- Offline maps and GPS positioning work without cell service; full NZ database can be downloaded for offline use.
- Comprehensive NZ camping database (freedom camping, DOC sites, parks) with location, cost, and user reviews.
- Easy-to-use navigation and quick access to location, cost, reviews, and accommodations.
- Indispensable for planning and road trips across both the North and South Islands.
- Helpful user reviews provide decision-making guidance and up-to-date information.

### Cons

- Stability issues: occasional crashes or freezes; some features feel incomplete.
- Offline map management is clunky: no easy way to delete downloaded maps and they take up a lot of space.
- Coverage gaps: some camping sites are missing or not listed.
- Offline limitations: lack of offline distance calculations and limited in-app capabilities for adding reviews or getting turn-by-turn directions.
- Some reports of outdated or inconsistent information requiring updates.
