Campgrounds & overnight networks — Australia & New Zealand

Global crowdsourced overlanding POI database. Camping plus mechanics, water, propane, laundry, showers, border crossings and checkpoints. Human-moderated, explicitly never sponsored. The only one of these that works outside North America and Oceania.

Marketplace for camping and RV stays on private land — the 'Airbnb of camping'. Operates in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. PROVISIONAL on market list: only its US and Canada Q&A pages were seen in this research pass. Note: Hipcamp's own Q&A content contained a factual error on BC Crown-land residency rules — use it as a booking channel, not as a legal source.

Australia's dominant crowdsourced camping app: 65,000+ campgrounds, caravan parks, free camps, dump points, water points and showers, with offline mode and a trip planner. Separate New Zealand and Canada editions are published by the same developer.

New Zealand edition of WikiCamps, confirmed to exist by the Australian publisher's own FAQ. PROVISIONAL: the .co.nz URL was inferred and not directly verified in the July 2026 pass — resolve before publishing.

Australia and New Zealand road-trip app covering campsites, holiday parks, national park campgrounds, public toilets, dump stations and free wifi. Endorsed on Tourism New Zealand's own freedom-camping page. Recent user reviews flag offline-map reliability issues.

Positions itself as the official New Zealand camping map, produced in association with local councils, the Responsible Camping Forum, DOC, i-SITE and Tourism NZ. Only shows camping locations approved by the 67 councils it represents — its core value proposition is fine avoidance. 1,500+ campsites, ~6,000 POIs, full offline maps, all public and holiday-park dump stations.

New Zealand's public campsite network: more than 300 conservation campsites, of which over 250 are vehicle accessible. Many require advance booking even with a Campsite Pass. Staying at a DOC campsite is legally NOT freedom camping, which matters for self-containment rules.
