Recently I was talking to a friend about some local camping spots and it made me think about the apps \/ websites I like to use to find anything travel related and I thought I would share them with you! Here’s is a quick rundown of my favourite apps \/ websites I like to use!<\/p>\n

\"wiki<\/p>\n

Wiki camps Australia:<\/strong>
\nWiki camps<\/a> is a cool app for your phone, tablet or PC that allows you to find camping areas around Australia. I use this a lot when I’m looking for some inspiration for camping areas and it comes in real handy when you are road tripping and looking for somewhere to camp for the night,in the area you have just arrived. The reviews are submitted by the public, people who have stayed there, sometimes there are photos, it works offline, and the key outlines everything there is to know about the campground. Wikicamps covers all camping areas from free camps to caravan parks and costs around $7.99 with free upgrades, great price for what it offers!<\/p>\n

\"you<\/p>\n

Youcamp.com<\/strong>
\nYoucamp<\/a> is a website that connects you with private properties that open their doors to the public to camp on. The new website looks awesome and the search engines takes you to all available properties near the area you are looking for. The site contains all the information you need about the property including how much they charge, what facilities they have, contact details and photos. We have stayed at some of their listed properties and plan on staying on plenty more!<\/p>\n

\"trip<\/p>\n

Trip advisor<\/strong>
\nMost people know about TripAdvisor<\/a>. It is a platform for reviews of hotels, restaurants etc as well as a place you can make bookings. I use it for the reviews, reading up on what people have to say about a particular hotel or place that I might be planning on staying at or visiting. To be honest I take the reviews with a grain of salt, taking into account what the majority of people are saying, seeing if those things would bother me or affect my experience, before making my decision. There is an app you can download as well that comes in handy.<\/p>\n

\"booking.com\"<\/p>\n

Booking.com<\/strong>
\nI love Booking.com<\/a>. I book the majority of our accommodation when we travel on this site, mainly because of the book now, pay later, free cancellation policy, and the fact that they generally offer the cheapest rates. I have never had any trouble booking (and cancelling) with these guys, and any inquires (they have a contact phone number do you can actually talk to someone!) have been dealt with wonderfully. They also offer reviews of the hotel you are planning to help with your decision and if you sign up with them, they have an App and you can get deals sent to your email.<\/p>\n

\"skyscanner\"<\/p>\n

Sky scanner<\/strong>
\nSky scanner<\/a> is a great site to compare prices of flights. It’s as easy as putting in when and where you want to go, and it will show you the flights available, prices and direct you to the websites to purchase them. I love the fact that I also shows you the cheapest times of the week \/ month \/ year to fly to your destination and offer email alerts to tell you of price changes on your preferred flight. A great online tool when looking for flights, it also has an App.<\/p>\n

\"viator\"<\/p>\n

Viator<\/strong><\/p>\n

I seriously love Viator<\/a> when booking activities \/ tours while we are away overseas and at home in Australia! They connect you with thousands of experiences, just put in where you are going and they will list all the activities that are available, great if you want to forward plan your trip. I have used this site many times, without any issues, booking day tours and entry into places. The paper work gives you very clear outlines of where to meet, contact details for the company that is running the tour you have booked and outlines the itinerary. The website also includes reviews so you can see what others think of that particular tour. They also have an App!<\/p>\n

So there is my list of Apps and Websites I use.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What has been your experience of these sites?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you have any others you would recommend?<\/strong><\/p>\n
