Camp Roostly

The best RV trip planner app: one app instead of five

The thesis: most RVers run a router for the drive, a directory for campgrounds, a coverage app to know if they can work, and a calendar to keep it all from colliding. Camp Roostly puts those in one place — rig-safe routing, in-dash nav on CarPlay and Android Auto, a cell + Starlink verdict on every site, an AI planner, and work/school-aware warnings.

What one app should actually do

Plan & route

  • Describe a trip in plain English; get a rig-safe multi-stop route
  • Routing that avoids low bridges, weight limits, and steep grades
  • Fastest or flattest route options for the climbs you would rather skip
  • Turn-by-turn on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto — online or fully offline

Know before you go

  • A cell + Starlink connectivity verdict on every campsite
  • Search 32,000+ campsites by signal, price, and amenities
  • Warnings when a drive day collides with a workday or school day
  • Email-in booking parser and Recreation.gov cancellation alerts

Frequently asked

What is the best RV trip planner app in 2026?
The best one replaces the stack most RVers cobble together — a router, a campground directory, and a coverage app. Camp Roostly does rig-safe routing that avoids low bridges and steep grades, navigates in-dash on CarPlay and Android Auto, and scores every campsite on cell and Starlink coverage, with an AI planner and work/school calendar awareness on top.
Which RV app has both rig-safe routing and cell coverage data?
Camp Roostly is built around having both: enter your rig dimensions for routing that avoids low bridges, weight limits, and steep grades, and get a connectivity verdict on each campsite that combines FCC coverage, Starlink sky-view, and camper reports. Most apps do one or the other, not both.
Do I have to pay to try it?
No. Camp Roostly is free to start on the web, iOS, and Android — search campsites by signal, build a rig-safe trip, and see the connectivity verdict on every stop. Premium adds more, with annual at $69.99.
