CamperContact is a handy app for finding pitches and campsites. Our nice motorhome neighbours here in Albufeira, Lena and Arne, told us about this app. We have now downloaded the app, which is called CamperContact. We have tested a bit and the app seems very smooth!
Online and offline
You download pitches for different countries and they are then available in offline mode, so you can use the app without being connected to the internet. If you are online, you can also see the exact distance to different sites in your neighbourhood based on your location. You do a search for sites, and the results are listed with the closest site first, then the next closest, and so on. Very practical!
This app also seems to be sometimes referred to as "All Motorhome Parkings" and is available for both iPhone and Android. According to the information on the CamperContact website, the app contains more than 24,000 sites and campsites in more than 50 countries. There's a free version with limited functionality, but we bought the full version, for which we paid £55.
Pitches and campsites
The app includes both pitches and campsites, as well as service pitches. You can choose whether you want to search for all types of sites or just a specific type. There is also an advanced search, where you can select various specific requests.

How clever and good.
Otherwise, I thought it was so good on your blog where you posted sites in different countries.
We are mostly in Sweden and Finland and always look for good places to park, and we often use harbour areas, so beautiful and nice boat people around.
Keep well and a hug to you, it is hug day today.

Ditte, it can be a good help when travelling as we do.
Rantamor on the retina, glad you like the sites on our blog. We will update them now too, from the countries we are travelling through on this trip! I agree that harbours are nice to stand in.

Nils-Åke, thank you very much! It can certainly be correct. I remember that we got tips on apps before ... but there was so much with everything about the boat and the construction, so it probably did not have time or was forgotten in the mess ... Now we have another calm ... Seems good anyway!

Hello!
CamperContact works very well, and if you have Sygic installed, you get driving directions from your current location to your chosen parking spot automatically.

Kjell and Solveig, we installed Sygic too! Haven't really had time to understand everything yet, but it sounds good!
