The problem

Your phone's map thinks you're driving a car.
You're not.

Car navigation doesn't know how tall, heavy or wide your rig is. And the best campsites are often the ones with no signal.

Clearance

Low bridges and tight roads

A route that's fine for a sedan can be a bad day for a 13-foot rig.

Long days

Drive days with kids

A map's drive time ignores fuel, rest stops and a restless back seat.

Weak signal

Camp where the bars aren't

You need your route, your alerts and your emergency contacts when the signal drops.

How it works

Three steps to a trip that fits.

1

Add your rig

Save your height, weight, width and length once. Free Ranger uses them for routing and clearance checks.

2

Plan your stops

Add stops by name or address, set dates and nights, and save a draft before every detail is known.

3

Drive with routes and alerts made for it

Navigate with voice guidance and warnings ahead, then check weather and wildfires at tonight's camp.

Plan the trip

Honest drive times. Nothing moves on its own.

Map drive time, plus a 20-minute stop every 100 miles, with extra time when kids are aboard. Long drive days can be split over several days.

  • Your rig, saved once: height, weight, width and length
  • Day-by-day drive plans from a daily mile limit, on each stop's local clock
  • Import booked campground stays from your calendar
  • Share a read-only link, or invite family and friends to follow the trip

On the road

Routes planned for your rig's height and weight.

Turn-by-turn navigation that avoids posted clearances and weight limits, and width limits when you've entered them. Voice guidance, a speed-limit sign, and warnings for wildfires and low clearances ahead.

  • Saved routes keep navigation going when signal drops. Rerouting and searching need signal.
  • Search anything, then one-tap Find nearby: fuel, diesel, dump stations, fresh water, propane, food, kids' activities and RV service

Routing is advisory. Always verify at the structure.

Tonight's camp, at a glance.

Open the app and see the forecast, National Weather Service alerts, active wildfires, prescribed burns and air quality near tonight's stop, with maps and distances.

  • An arrival checklist for setting up at each stop
  • Every safety alert stays readable in your alerts inbox, not just as a banner

Food & kids

Places tagged for your family's diets come first.

Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, vegetarian, halal and kosher places are listed first. The rest are labelled "call ahead". We'll never call a restaurant "safe": we'll tell you who to call.

  • Things to do near any stop: hikes, bike rides, water spots, scenic places, rainy-day ideas and tours
  • A Kids search: playgrounds, zoos, aquariums, children's museums and water parks, with drive times
Activities search with filters for kids, hiking, biking, water and scenic places

Roam, your AI trip assistant

Ask Roam. Add the plan with one tap.

Roam knows your stops, dates, weather and where you are. It searches real places near camp and proposes a plan you can add to your itinerary.

Roam is part of the paid plans. During beta it's included for every account.

Roam chat planning stays between two campgrounds with a 330-mile daily limit
Safety

SOS is free for everyone, always.

And Free Ranger only shows data it actually got. If a lookup fails, it says so.

SOS, built in

Add up to 10 emergency contacts. The big button calls whoever lives closest to where you are, and SOS emails every contact with an email address.

Share your location

Share where you are with people you trust, while the app is open.

Advisory, honestly

Routes are planned for your rig, not guaranteed. Always verify at the structure.

Questions

Good to know.

Is it really free?

Yes, during beta. Every feature, including Roam, is open to every account, and no payment is taken. Paid plans are planned for later, and SOS stays free.

Does it work without signal?

Routes for travel days are saved ahead of time, and a dropped signal never loses the route you're driving. Rerouting and searching need signal.

Does it book campsites?

No. Free Ranger doesn't book campsites. It links to Recreation.gov and other booking sites.

What rigs does it support?

RVs, motorhomes, campervans and travel trailers. You save your rig's height, weight, width and length once, and routing uses them.

Are the routes guaranteed?

No. Routes are planned for your rig's height and weight, and routing is advisory. Always verify at the structure.

Is my data private?

You can start without an account. Read the Privacy Policy, or delete your data any time.

Which phones does it run on?

Free Ranger runs on the web at freeranger.app and installs to your home screen, on phone, tablet and desktop. The iPhone and iPad app is in App Store review, and the Android app is being set up.
