The Dyrt: Tent & RV Camping for Negative User Reviews

Date filter does not workDownloaded this app excited about the ability to put dates in, like a hotel app, so that I wouldn’t have to keep contacting each individual campsite I found on google maps to see if they had open sites. Well, this is a paid version of google maps because putting in the dates doesn’t do anything, all sites are still shown and you still have to go to each individual one to see if they have availability. Half of these I’ve called already and they don’t, so….what’s the point?.Version: 4.5.6

Always a problemI love the layout of this app. I signed up as a pro member, but quickly canceled my membership due to app performance challenges. The problems have morphed over the past year. Currently I’m having trouble with an offline pop-up that explains that downloading the contents of the app is required for offline use. This isn’t an issue except for the fact that the pop-up is forever repeating itself rendering the app useless. Otherwise the improvements to the design have been nice and noted..Version: 4.0.11

Missing too much info in ColoradoI really wanted this app to be good. I purchased a year subscription. But, when looking for dispersed sites in Colorado I found this map is missing too much data. It underperforms. Friends keep sending me links from Campendium or others, and when I check the Dyrt there is nothing to be found. The information that can be found is often wrong. I submit corrections, but nothing changes. This app has been hard to use as well. Some bugs have been fixed. Still, I searched for a specific campground, Rainbow Lakes. It takes me to a detail view, but then I can’t get directions or locate it on the map from that view. Where is it at? I’m sorry, but this isn’t worth the money and improvements need to happen fast to become competitive with others..Version: 4.0.13

I WAS LET DOWN...IT OFFER NO PRIMITIVE SPOTS ONLY CAMPGROUNDSMy wife and I were pumped to finally get an app that would show us new primitive camping spots only to be let down by the dyrt app. I downloaded the app after seeing their instagram account which looks great and portrays primitive and outlander camping. However, after my wife and I downloaded the app we soon found that the only camp grounds that it provided were KOAs and other campgrounds that are not primitive at all and can easily be found on a google search. We have lived in Utah for a very long time and have found many great primitive spots to camp and we were hoping to find more by using the “number 1 camping app” as they claim. It was disappointing to see that they didn’t even have the primitive camping areas that are popular here in Utah on the app, let alone anything new for us to try. Their Instagram is very misleading and not what you get, at least here in Utah. I would happily re-download the app if I found out that they changed their app to provide primitive spot and not just campgrounds that I can find on google. Don’t waste your time!.Version: 3.1.15

Big OoppsI just joined and didn’t realize it won’t work for me as I’m Canadian…🤦🏼🤦🏼 Couldn’t put Ottawa, ON in.Version: 4.0.18

Filters Are UselessThere should be a button to report these people if their campground is being listed under the “free” filter if in fact it is not free. If you do not offer WiFi, you should not be advertising your campground as having WiFi. Basically the filters are useless and you end up having to contact each and every campground by phone in order to make sure they are true to what they advertise, and 90% of the time, they are not. I blame the app because again, they should add a Report Button so that when someone is falsely advertising, the consumer can bring that to their attention and the person doing the false advertisement should be hit with a warning that their advertisement could be suspended if they do not correct the issue. It is not fair that people have to find out the hard way that the campground is not what they expected and it defeats the purpose of the app if I have to manually call a bunch of campgrounds myself to get to the bottom of what their all about. The app needs some damage control..Version: 4.2.4

Canada Not IncludedUntil you include Canada…. 2 stars for now..Version: 4.0.25

DisappointingMay be OK for private campgrounds but useless for actual camping. For instance, Oregon has around 18 million acres (think the size of South Carolina) of federally-owned forest land. The app has few National Forest campgrounds and finding them is hit and miss. Plus the search is poor. Try entering "clear lake Oregon" - the first 13 entries are not in Oregon. I've uninstalled. Update: Contacted by the developers. Kudos for a quick response, but I get the impression they didn't read this post. I was talking about National Forest *campgrounds*, not dispersed/dry camping. I happened to go to the website and found the web app has NF campgrounds. So it appears the app is dealing with a subset of the data, not useful. And both have the same wonky search algorithm..Version: 3.1.42

Needs WorkSo, I paid for this app to have info about campgrounds and to find free campgrounds and since I’m a VanLifer to upload info as well. But the app is very primitive when it comes to give and take info. How do I know if the campgrounds are free? When I uploaded my first review, there is no option to give prices info so I’m guessing that’s why it’s impossible to know if campgrounds are free or not. When I search for them as “free” or as “any price” there is not actual indication or color coding that tells me if it is free. And no one wants to drive for hours to realize that the prices are wrong or is private land. And if I’m paying for the Dyrt app it should not be necessary for me to keep researching online about the specific spot! I I wanted to do that I would just keep doing what I always do! Research Research Research, I pay the app to save time!!! So please wonderful people.... I’m not the only one that thinks like this, I’ve seen many reviews and comments on it, the app has potential as long as you guys try it yourselves and fix it. Tank You! ✌️ Peace ☮️!!.Version: 3.1.59

You are not where you think you are.The app is not intuitive to use and if you are searching for someplace to camp where you are headed to (not currently at), the app doesn’t always (often) put the location of where you are searching in the correct place. Also, when you first open the app and click search “Near You”, it will pick locations across the country. I’m in SoCal and apparently Atlanta Georgia is very close to me. I tried closing and reopening the app and even reinstalling it and I am still near Atlanta. You can get the “Pro” version, but I haven’t really found a reason to do so. Plus, once you have purchased the “Pro” level, you constantly get ads in the app asking if you want to upgrade. When I say constantly, I mean every time you click on something, you are asked if you want to upgrade. I paid the money, now let me use the app! Skip downloading this, it is glitchy at best, the user experience is poor, and there are better apps out there that do the same thing and more. Use them..Version: 4.0.40

Almost useless unless you have a self contained rvThe filters just do t work if you feed in van or tent. So many of the places listed are rv parks that don’t even have places for tents/vans. The route search looks much better than it is. For three trips now I’ve started with the dyrt app and not found one place after much back and forth. It’s aloo awkward because you kep having to redo the search. I was gifted a year of pro so I kept trying it but now I’m done. Maybe it’ll improve but so far, not for me. The only thing I appreciate was the way you can look at your route and set the distances or number of stops you want to make. Great idea but not enough good filters.Version: 4.4.1

CanadaI am from North of the border and cannot enter my city to start my trips from home, why is that?.Version: 4.0.26

Poor photo features and user experienceSimply put, the ability to view photos is terrible. I’m trying to love this app as it has potential but the user experience is tortuous. Why can’t we view photos in landscape mode? More importantly, why can’t we zoom in on photos where users are posting photos with campsite information booths/boards? Additionally, I HATE that the app clears out my last active session. Every time I’m conducting a search or researching an area, then for whatever reason I get pulled away (phone call, responding to a text, knock at the door), this app basically reboots when I reopen and have to start over. Lastly the MOST ANNOYING THING, when searching in a specific area on the map and clicking on a campsite icon, why does it randomly zoom into the map?! It doesn’t even zoom into where I clicked but some other random nearby area on the map?!?! I keep having to zoom out to continue to browse other campsites in the search area. Simple features would greatly improve user experience but instead, I find using the app utterly infuriating. I’m not exactly sure why this app is rated so highly. I often use other apps such as Campendium, iOverlander, free campsites dot net, Hipcamp, etc. because of simple usability issues plaguing this app..Version: 4.0.28

Helpful, but glitchyI’ve used this app for about a year and a half now and it has helped me plan a number of camping trips. I like being able to see others reviews and pictures when I’m visiting an area I’ve never been before. That being said, lately the app has been so glitchy it’s practically unusable. When I try to search for sites in a specific area on the map and then I click on a specific site to see more details, it zoom all the way in on the map. Which is not helpful at all. All I see is green. When I try to zoom back out to see other sites in that area it usually pops me into a completely different area of the map, a few times it’s dropped me a couple states over from where I want to be. I just paid for Pro because it was on sale for Black Friday and I’m kind of regretting it now. Looking at other reviews, one from back in April, it looks like this problem may have been going on for a while without being fixed..Version: 4.0.28

Wish it listed pricesWe just got off a monthlong RV camping trip through the Southwest states. We used another app which worked beautifully but it never hurts to try another, right? Although I love the feature that allows you to filter for those amenities specific to your needs, it does not give any indication of prices. We have found that costs can vary greatly depending on the location. We do a lot of boondocking and look for inexpensive camping along the way so I don’t want to go through individual listing websites to determine fees. After all, you’re likely searching at the end of a day of traveling. At least we are. Much better when there is an indication of cost on the listing so I don’t waste my time on looking at high-priced RV campgrounds..Version: 2.2.35

Everything is paywalled nowUsed to be great and the free version was awesome. Now, you can barely look at the map without a subscription making it useless as a “free” app. Lots of other actual free options especially if you just want to see BLM land..Version: 4.5.2

Offline options failedThis was a useful app for planning but when it came time to using the pro options it failed. The offline map was really glitchy and can not be depended upon. I had worked on a list to find the next day it had reverted to an older version of the list and everything I had put together was not pulling up. Instead, it would show the same campground info for every different place I clicked. Grateful we had taken notes and screenshots of google maps as backup because this app would not have been able to get us through a multi-destination camping trip in an area that was without service. Hoping to see improvements in future versions considering we paid for PRO. Also it would be helpful to have a way of searching an area with campgrounds you’ve saved showing up as a different color than the green tent box..Version: 3.1.48

Only for the USSeems like a great platform but we need information on all of North America..Version: 4.0.9

Your infoI didn’t search for a place to camp using this app. I foolishly downloaded it without thinking of the consequences. I was in a hurry to find an app that listed camping sites to make our travels easier without the need to stop early during the day and search for sites. I downloaded the app before reading the ‘Terms of Use’ and ‘The Privacy Policy’. There is no logical reason that I can think of which allows a business to have access and Rights to Share my: Financial, Personal, Contact List, Photos, Search History, etc. My business is My Business. It’s not anyone else’s business. I’m sure that the people in my Contact List feel the same, and I don’t willingly share their names with anyone because I Respect Their Privacy. I un-installed The Dyrt app as soon as I realized that they do not Respect People’s Privacy in their business practices..Version: 4.0.6

Not for meI like the way the app worked. I was able to quickly plan a trip. But I was disappointed when the recommended camping sites where so far off the main roads on my route. I could not find a filter that I could use to tell the system that I did not want to travel more then 5 miles off the main route. I would have been willing to drive longer or shorter to stay closer to my main route. If this is something that I could do with this app I would be willing to try it again..Version: 4.0.17

Loved it … but not liking the new versionUsed the app, loved the app but I came home for a couple of weeks and now that I’m getting ready to hit the road I don’t recognize the app and my profile has disappeared. Granted, I’d not paid for the Pro membership, but I’d been a happy free user. I had considered upgrading to Pro because it was a great app. Now The Dyrt is a pay or lose app. I understand the desire to make money and/or at least pay for your costs and time but with the new look (it seems clunky and the information is buried. I don’t find it more user friendly) I will not be investing..Version: 4.0.8

Game they playThey play games with your credit card. Signed up with what I thought was a trial. After a couple hours I saw it was complicated ap an poor out of date info and cancelled. Well later I noticed I was charged. Went to take the charge out through Apple. They did we guess. Well by evening found I was billed the year rate. Called back and checked phone show I was bill several more times. There are plenty of free sites that are excellent to use for RV campsites. This one is not any good. Careful about downloading the ap for a trial as you be charged and will go round and round to try to get rid of it. I’ve still got One charge still there I’m trying to get removed..Version: 4.0.18

Used to love.I used to love this app. Used it to find so many camp grounds in states that I wouldn’t have looked at. And to be clear have only used the free version, it did everything I needed. Now when I open it all I see are weird campgrounds that can be instabooked. Instead of the 3 state parks that I know I right in that area I see 2 private camp grounds. I have cleared filters multiple times so that isn’t why I’m only seeing expensive boring places. It’s become a headache to use and that’s unfortunate because I relied on the reviews of places I had never been to pick appropriate sites. I suspect they only show campgrounds that they have contracts with..Version: 4.5.4

Too much money for occasional useNot paying $2.99 per month for something I might use a couple times a year. Not when there are so many free apps that will do the same thing..Version: 4.5.4

Barely FunctionalThis app doesn’t seem to work. Like at all. When I clicked on a campsite it showed me “Diamond Valley RV Site”. Ah, gotcha. Not looking for RV hookups. Let me try the one nearby. “Diamond Valley RV Site” uhh... ok lemme try a couple miles away.... “Diamond Valley RV Site”. Literally every campground was showing up as that. I reset the app and this time it showed an actual campground, and another one after, but when I went back to the first campground it gave me a totally different hit than the first. Cycling through campground, it seemed to show me pins at complete random, no where near where actual campsite were.... This app is total garbage, unless you pay whatever nonsensically inflated monthly price they're charging. Kinda lame for people who are casual campers. Why not just support the app with ads like literally every other developer?.Version: 4.0.8

Can’t switch appsThe app is great until you try to multitask and switch apps into Google maps or a web browser in order to research a location a bit more. When I come back into The Dyrt app, it says I’m offline and to upgrade to Pro. Then it starts from the starting splash screen, completely restarting my session and making me begin my search from scratch. This completely kills the progress searching for a camp site. I can’t find anywhere in the description about the free version having a session time limit, but that sure is it what it seems like. It’s like very 5 minutes the session ends and I have to restart..Version: 4.0.24

What are you guys actually trying to do here?I downloaded The Dyrt a year ago, and bought the PRO version after reading reviews and thinking it would be helpful on our big camping trip. Honestly, the app is glitchy and I really didn’t use it AT ALL in the year I had it. Still kept the app since I had the subscription just in case. I turned off auto-renewal awhile back when I knew I wouldn’t be repurchasing. But of course a couple days ago I was charged with the subscription, and reached out to Apple since that’s what The Dyrt recommends for a refund on their website. Apple told me if it’s not billed through Apple or with Apple in the name of the billing statement they can not issue me a refund. In my billing statement it just reads “THE DYRT” so I reached out to support for the app, and they told me they didn’t have any of my card information and that I need to contact Apple… but the subscription is not even in my Apple subscriptions….. sooo??? Just a dead end with a company who really can’t just issue me a refund? You can find all of this information on this app other places FOR FREE, and with WAY more helpful reviews and information. Don’t waste your time or money. An app that is supposed to help with enjoying the outdoors shouldn’t be this suspect..Version: 4.0.18

Concept is great, some execution issuesI paid for pro to plan a trip. I’m planning a large road trip with 6-8 stops. Every time I add a campsite, it adds it to the start of the trip, even if I scrolled past my last campsite and click add a campground. There are a ton of sites that don’t have prices associated with it but when I look the campground up on their respective sites, their are fees with the campground. I find myself having to double and trip check everything and I could’ve done this quicker without the app..Version: 4.0.7

Only good in USAOnly good in the US States. No Canadian cities listed..Version: 4.0.11

PatheticThis app is designed for rich families who camp with a trailer or a van, but it’s marketed to be for dirt bags. I was outside of Portland heading to the coast and thought I’d give the app a try to find free camping. Got forced to buy the annual and was advertised that there were 5000 FREE CAMPING SPOTS. No results, zoomed out to the whole state of Oregon and got maybe two or three. I drove down the road like 30 mins and found an OHV trail with free camping. This app feeds the inaccessibility of the outdoors to the working class and markets a “rugged outdoor tool” to the upper class who are just driving camping and park prices up leaving us poor dirtbags sleeping in our cars at Walmart, unable to camp on the beautiful land America has to offer..Version: 4.6.1

Please include Canada!No Canadian sites info. Only for the US. I understand they intend to include Canada in the future. 5 stars then. It came highly recommended, so I joined the PRO subscription. I will now have to cancel & rejoin when we can actually use it in our beautiful country..Version: 4.0.18

App is ok but I prefer to use the websiteThe website is much easier to use. The app has become almost unusable. The maps are not helpful. I don’t know what you did to break them. Downloading maps causes gaps between maps no matter how I choose them. I now can’t get the camps to show up while I’m searching for places to go. Even when I know there’s camps there. And now you have hamstrung the website so it’s not usable on an iPad, trying to force people to use the app. Do you actually want people to use this or not? Because it looks like you don’t. It’s great I have some camps saved but I can’t see them on a map. I’m ready to create my own database to actually use the info in a friendlier way..Version: 4.6.2

Another useless appIt’s a bit tedious to look for camping sites on Google Maps but at least locations are there. Not in this app..Version: 4.7.3

QuestionableWhile I like the app I’m questioning their affiliation with campgrounds. Why???? We’ll I madeA week and reservation through The Dyrt app to a local large and often sold out campground in Myrtle Beach…. Right on the beach! Upon driving into the campground to check in we were told that this campground is not affiliated with third-party apps and that our reservation was null/void. I had a confirmation number and paid the fee through The Dyrt app. We ended up scoring a really great site and paying the campground directly but due to that issue I am hesitant on using this app to make any type of reservation. I will use it as a resource to locate campgrounds but will contact the campground directly to make reservations..Version: 4.0.26

Annoying-wareI want to like this app/platform; however, their pop ups pushing the pro version are freaking annoying which I feel is more of a deterrent to upgrade. Free members can contribute to the community also…if you can keep them around. I’ve written reviews. I was trying to write a review this evening. I had the whole thing typed out. I switched to another app for a few seconds to grab some information then switched back…only to be greeted by an offline message then a pop up message to upgrade. Once I cleared these, my pending review was go without a way to continue. What a poorly designed app..Version: 4.5.2

Too close for comfortWhile traveling for a work project, I decided to check out a few campsites in the area for my next work travel dates. Researched the sites via the app, checked out those of interest, and saved them. Two days later, I received an email from Head of Audience Development, The Dyrt. The email noted my search and my alleged travel dates as well as the trip may have ended. I am sorry but you are too close for comfort. I have Yelp. I have TripAdvisor! Every hotel app where I am Diamond, Spire, Titanium status. None respond to my searches or conclude that my travel ended and inquire on details based on a search. I am an Apple user for many reasons one being it is not Google. I bought into your Pro and for that I am regretful. This never happened before that..Version: 3.1.10

Brain dead road trip planningI was planning a road trip across the west coast for next summer and input the list of destinations in a reasonable order to travel them. When this app created the road trip plan, it suggested that I ping-pong from Los Angeles (my starting point) all the way up to North Cascades National Park all the way back down to Sequoia National Park and then all the way back up to Mt. Rainier before turning south again to go to Yosemite. Over. And over. And over. This is ridiculous, fix it or remove the road trip function altogether. I will say though that the maps themselves are very accurate and useful..Version: 4.0.18

ScamEDIT- This company runs a scam. You sign up for the free version then they automatically upgrade your account to “Pro” then charge you for this, even if you canceled your account. Then once I reach out to the company about this charge, they reply the first time, then claim they don’t get my emails after that. You can see this from their unprofessional and childish response below. Funny, they did receive my email informing them that my credit card company was disputing the charge. As you can see, other users have had the same issue. This app was worthless anyway. It took us to strange campgrounds and some that weren’t even open anymore. Don’t waste your time. I used the free version of this app a few times in December of 2021 then cancelled. I just ended up with a $35 charge on my account. When I reached out to let them know, I received shady responses from their employ “Suzy B” claiming I was not responding to email. This was absolutely not true. I sent them multiple emails and screen shots of the charge. I finally had to contest the charge through my credit cards company and The Dyrt is still saying I never responded to them. COMPLETE SCAM!!! DO NOT use this app!.Version: 4.5.0
