Adding a campsite

If you find a campsite that isn’t in Overland Navigator, you can submit it directly from the app. Submitted campsites go through a review process before they become publicly visible.

Starting the form

There are two ways to open the Add Campsite form:

  • Long-press on the map at the campsite’s location, then tap Add Campsite from the menu that appears.
  • Tap the waypoint toolbar button on the map, then choose Add Campsite.

Picking the location

A map picker lets you drag a pin to the exact location of the campsite entrance. Zoom in and place it as accurately as you can - this is what other users will use to navigate there.

Filling in the details

The form is split into sections. Fill in as much as you can - the more detail you provide, the more useful it is for other people.

SectionWhat to fill in
Basic infoName, campsite type, region
DescriptionA short description of the campsite and what to expect
PhotosAdd photos to help others know what to expect
AmenitiesFacilities available (toilets, water, fire pits, etc.)
PricingWhether it’s free or paid, and approximate cost if known
ConditionsGround surface, cellphone coverage, tent types suitable

Sharing toggle

At the bottom of the form there’s a sharing toggle. If you turn this off, the campsite is saved privately and only visible to you. Leave it on to submit it for public review.

After you submit

Your campsite will show up in the My campsites section of My Navigator with a Pending badge while it’s under review. Once approved it becomes Public and visible to all Overland Navigator users.

If you kept it private, it stays as Private and only you can see it.
