Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

Paid for App, now they want a subscription.

★ · v14.0 · Oct 11, 2026

They said paid members have the same features, but that’s not true. Now have to pay to see parking reports. You should refund us who supported you years ago.

Not accurate

★ · v13.5 · Oct 11, 2026

Downloaded it to check it out. Noticed that campgrounds moved around on the map. I checked the area I live in and the Loves Travel Plaza and their scale moved location several times. Don’t know why, but not going to spend money on something not accurate. Received your reply and I stand by my review. The Cat scale moved from the I-70 272 mile marker where Love’s is, then moved to the I-70 281 mile marker.

I don't understand the 4.7 rating here...

★★ · v13.5 · Oct 9, 2026

The paid version of this must be great but the free version doesn't even let you search for a location?! Useless for me and gotta uninstall and leave this review as a reminder to myself for next time lol. Let me know if that "feature" changes!

I’ve used it for years, but updates have made it next to useless.

★★ · v13.5 · Oct 7, 2026

This used to be a great app to find WM, CB, etc. they updated but they threw out all the valuable info, and now have misleading AI summaries.

Terrible

★ · v13.5 · Oct 4, 2026

This is literally the worst app I have ever tried to use to find campsites.

Buyer beware

★ · v13.4 · Sep 24, 2026

Had the app for several years with full paid access to view reviews. They have since changed their business model and now want customers who already paid for it to pay again. No thanks. Shady company.

Disappointing

★★ · v13.4 · Sep 18, 2026

This app used to be free. When it was free, it offered access to tons of offline information. Sites were visible to the user, especially campground locations. One needed to be online for any information other than location. Now that I’m paying no information other than minimal map features are available are

Click bait

★ · v13.3 · Sep 11, 2026

You spent 15 minutes answering questions filling in information to get to the final page where it’s either gonna cost you $50 or $100 a month monthly fee quarterly fee a yearly fee. absolute waste. It’ll tell you how tall the bridges are, but it won’t tell you where any campgrounds are.

Looks like it is good but…

★★ · v13.2 · Sep 8, 2026

This app looks to be pretty good, but I can’t upgrade to a subscription on the app.

So sad

★ · v13.2 · Sep 6, 2026

The folks at all-stays camp&rv have managed to destroy what was once the best in class app. Sometimes the best improvements are to not let the new kid have his way before the changes are reviewed by someone who actually knows what they’re doing.

Not as advertised

★ · v13.2 · Sep 5, 2026

It isn’t free to use after downloading, you have to subscribe & pay (you get 3 days free & that is it) to use it.

Paid App Removes Features

★ · v13.2 · Sep 5, 2026

Paid $10 for this app years ago, now the features I paid for have been placed behind a paywall. Same thing has happened with Campendium and other RV apps so it shouldn’t be surprising, but they started out being free. It is extra frustrating when it is an app that you already paid for because you didn’t want a subscription.

Review

★ · v13.0 · Aug 31, 2026

You have to find cancelation for subscription

What is that autio thing?

★★ · v13.0 · Aug 29, 2026

Update: thanks for changing the icon for autio. Still annoyed with pop ups I have to get thru. I keep thinking it’s an rv park and it’s some story or something. I use the app a lot when I have weak signal and it takes forever to load so clicking on the “autio” is annoying., as are the pop ups I have to get thru in order to use the app. It’s no longer my go to app for rv parks.

Hard to use

★ · v12.2 · Aug 16, 2026

Don’t like it but some how got a full year fee on it.

Incorrect Information

★★ · v12.2 · Aug 16, 2026

We tried to contact two different campgrounds using this app. Both site had incorrect or outdated information. We have canceled our subscription.

Bait and Switch

★ · v11.0 · Jul 12, 2026

App sucks. Advertised as free but only useful if you pay. This is fine but be honest up front that the app is useless you pay.

Not helpful

★★ · v11.0 · Jul 10, 2026

Well…I put a lot of hope into this app but unfortunately I have found more information on Google Maps or IA.

Default Auto-renewal

★ · v11.0 · Jul 6, 2026

All stats makes it incredibly difficult to turn off auto-renewal. App refers user to Apple subscriptions but app sub is not listed. Very difficult to navigate app for charges and subscription management.

App sucks

★ · v11.0 · Jun 29, 2026

Now that I’ve paid for this app when I open it map only, no rv parks show up.

Terrible app

★ · v11.0 · Jun 28, 2026

I’ve tried using this app many times but full of mistakes and nearly useless. I’d rather have my money back but I don’t think they’ll ever do that. I’m a full timer.

This app is now worth less.

★ · v10.0 · Jun 22, 2026

The Allstate app was marvelous and so easy to navigate. NOW it is a pain in the “A”. Now find a State to explore is none existent.

New developer can’t be trusted

★★ · v9.1 · Jun 12, 2026

I originally bought this app for $9.95. I have used it for years. The new developer has asked continuously for people like me to upgrade. Because we haven’t upgraded, now they have started to delete features that we previously used. Not cool.

Stupid

★ · v9.1 · Jun 11, 2026

Dumb

This app

★ · v9.1 · Jun 9, 2026

Was very user friendly but with the new update I have cancelled my auto renewal and will switch to rv life

The opportunity

What would it take to build a viable competitor, what would it cost to run every month, and a prompt to get started. Generated from the reviews on file; one LLM call per brief. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for a real brief; the stub only fills in a template.
