Campendium is a camping discovery services provider that was started in 2014 by Brian Easterling and Leigh Wetzel. The company developed the platform to help campers and RV travelers find trustworthy camping spots with ease and to share practical experiences from other campers. The business was created to make trip planning easier, as information on campgrounds, ratings, and travel facilities would be provided under a single roof.
The platform is a crowdsourced, editorially curated site and mobile app that enables users to find camping sites across North America. The database maintained by Campendium has over 35,000 private and public campgrounds in the United States, Canada, and Baja Mexico. RV parks, campgrounds in national and state parks, dispersed camping sites, and free public land sites with camping areas are among the locations users can browse. The camping community can post photos, reviews, and campsite information for travelers to view, helping them make informed destination selections.
The site also offers planning features that RV travelers and campers would use. Some of these tools are campground maps, cell coverage maps to estimate the mobile signal strength at campgrounds, public land overlay, trail maps, dump station location, and elevation filters. Other options are based on live environmental data, e.g., smoke maps, precipitation, etc. These mapping technologies enable a user to compare sites and estimate the conditions of travel before going to a destination.
The integrated ecosystem of Campendium helps millions of customers to plan road trips, find camping spots, and organize RV travel via these online services. It has become a popular source among RV travelers and camping lovers in need of camping site information
