Features
Everything Vacamp does, signposted.
A map of Europe's campsites that asks each one, live, whether it has space on your dates. Here is all of it: on the web map, in the iPhone and iPad app, and in Claude.
Find a pitch
Every campsite on one map, sized to your trip.
Europe's campsites, big and small
Every campsite and caravan site on OpenStreetMap is on the map, down to the farm field no guidebook mentions, with its website, phone number and whatever else is known about it.
- Web map
- iPhone & iPad
Your dates, your crew, your setup
Arrival and departure, grown-ups, children and pets, and whether you bring a tent, a caravan or a motorhome or want a cabin. Every price is for exactly that party.
- Web map
- iPhone & iPad
Pins that answer at a glance
A price on a pin means space on your dates, and it is the total for the whole stay. Full, not yet checked, and can't be checked live each look different, and the legend explains every one.
- Web map
- iPhone & iPad
A list, cheapest first
Every campsite in view as a list beside the map: the ones with space at the top, cheapest first, then the rest.
- Web map
Filters for tonight
Show only campsites with space, your saved ones, those we can check live or those that take email. Cap the total price, ask for a minimum guest rating or a maximum drive.
- iPhone & iPad
Drive times from where you are
Open a campsite and see how far it is by road. The route is worked out on your phone with Apple Maps; your location never reaches Vacamp.
- iPhone & iPad
Works where the signal doesn't
The app keeps its own copy of the campsites, so the map still shows them at the end of the valley where the bars run out.
- iPhone & iPad
Live availability
Asked live, at the source.
One tap asks every campsite
Tap Check and Vacamp asks the booking system of every campsite on your screen at the same moment. Prices fill in as the answers arrive.

The real price, not a brochure
You see what the campsite's own booking page would tell you: the cheapest stay actually free for your party on your dates, and which kinds of pitch or cabin are left.

Free tokens that refill
Each live answer costs one token from a free balance that refills on its own, one every couple of minutes. Browsing is free, a failed check costs nothing, and an answer you've had stays yours.

Honest about coverage
See how many campsites Vacamp can check live, everywhere or in one area, and by which booking system. The ones it can't read stay on the map, with their website.

At the campsite
Found your spot? Here's the way in.
Book direct, on their page
Vacamp sends you to the campsite's own booking page. You book and pay with them, at their price, and nobody takes a cut.
- Web map
- iPhone & iPad
An enquiry, written for you
For campsites that book by email, Vacamp writes the enquiry for your dates and party in the local language, with an English copy underneath. Nothing goes out until you send it, and it never costs a token.
- Web map
- iPhone & iPad
Directions and contact
Directions to the gate, the phone number, the address and the website, a tap away from the campsite's page.
- Web map
- iPhone & iPad
Run it? Claim it New
Owners prove it with a code we mail to the campsite, then fix its details, choose where the Book button goes and switch live checks off or on.
- Web map
Never miss a pitch
Full tonight? Not for long.
Watch a full campsite
Set a watch on a stay that's booked out. Our server checks it again about every hour and sends a push notification when a pitch opens up, even with the app closed.
- iPhone & iPad
Save the ones you love
Star a campsite to keep it in your saved list, checked for your dates in one go. Pull down to check them all again.
- iPhone & iPad
From campers who stayed
Reviews, photos and a way to fix the map.
Anyone can read them. Writing one needs a free account, so every review has a real camper behind it.
Reviews New
Give a campsite stars and a few words on the pitches, the facilities and the nights. Reviews are public, signed with your first name and initial, and the average shows on the campsite.
- Web map
Photos New
Add photos of the pitches, the view or the shower block, so the next camper knows what they're driving to. They shrink in your browser first, so they go up quickly on a weak signal.
- Web map
Problem reports New
Closed for good, a wrong booking link, a pin in the wrong place, an old phone number: tell us in a few taps. Only the Vacamp team sees reports.
- Web map
Your account
Optional, and only where it helps.
No account needed
Browsing, checking and booking all work without one. You only need an account to write a review, add a photo or report a problem.
- Web map
- iPhone & iPad
Sign in your way New
With Google, with Apple, or with an email address and a password. Add more than one to your account and use whichever is closest to hand.

Your tokens on every device New
Signed in, your tokens and watches belong to your account, so they're the same in every browser you use and in Claude.
- Web map
- Claude
You stay in charge New
See every device signed in to your account, AI assistants included, and sign any of them out. Deleting the account deletes everything in it.
- Web map
Everywhere you are
In your browser, in your pocket, in a conversation.
The web map
Works in any browser, on a laptop, a tablet or a phone. Nothing to install and nothing to sign up for. New things, like reviews and photos, arrive here first.
iPhone and iPad
The free app adds filters, saved campsites, watches with push notifications, drive times and a map that works offline. It speaks English, German, Dutch, French, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish.
Vacamp in Claude New
Connect Vacamp to Claude and ask in your own words where there's space this weekend. Claude searches the map, checks live, watches a stay and spends your tokens just as the app does. Any assistant that speaks MCP connects the same way.
What we promise
The small print, in large type.
No bookings, no commission
We never take a booking or a cut of one, so nothing steers you anywhere but where you want to go.
No ads, no tracking
Your location stays on your device, and booking systems never see who you are: our servers do the asking.
Free to use
Everything is free for now, for campers and for campsites, while we work out what's fair. See pricing.
Plain about the gaps
Where we can't read a campsite yet, we say so, and it stays on the map anyway.
Tonight's pitch is out there. Go and find it.
Free on iPhone and iPad, and in any browser.
