One map, everything on it
Dispersed sites, free camps, established campgrounds, RV parks, rest stops and retail overnight — plus the hikes, hot springs and small towns worth the detour.
Private beta — accepting testers now
Every sleep spot, trail and nomad on one map.
Road Wild is a companion for van life. Find somewhere to park for the night, something worth stopping for tomorrow, and the people roaming the same roads as you.

The problem
Six tabs, three apps, and still no idea where you're sleeping
Camping data is scattered across agency websites, forum threads and screenshots in your camera roll. Road Wild pulls it into one place — and lets the people actually out there keep it honest.
Plans that fit how you drive
Tell it your pace, what you like doing and how you prefer to sleep. Get a route with stops that actually make sense for your rig and your week.
People, not just pins
Community boards, free to read and post in. Direct messages and opt-in location sharing come with Road Wild+ — find nomads nearby, only when you want to be found.
How it works
Open the map, build the week, hit the road
1
Find your spot
Search by sleep style or by what there is to do nearby. Every listing shows where its information came from and whether a nomad has actually confirmed it.
2
Build the route
Drop stops in the order you want them, or hand your dates and preferences to the trip planner and let it draft the run for you.
3
Report back
Check in at stops, leave a quick review, add the spot nobody's listed yet. The map gets better for whoever pulls in behind you.
Honest data
We tell you what we don't know yet
Most listings started as bulk imports from public land databases, and some spot types are best guesses from a name. Rather than hide that, every spot carries a provenance badge — imported, or confirmed by someone who slept there.
- Seeded from the National Park Service, RIDB and OpenStreetMap
- Enriched with official campground details where they exist
- Confirmed on the ground by nomads leaving reports
- Flag anything wrong, missing or unsafe in two taps
A pin is a lead, not a promise. Rules, closures and conditions change — check locally before you commit to a night somewhere.
Questions
Before you sign up
What does "private beta" actually mean?
Road Wild is live and usable, but access is invite-only while we shake out rough edges. Testers get every paid feature free for the duration of the beta, and we'll reach out well before anything changes.
How long until I get an invite?
Honestly, we don't know. Invites go out in batches because the group is deliberately small. Putting your name in is a request, not a queue position, and some requests won't get one.
Is the map any good yet?
It's broad rather than deep. More than 20,000 overnight spots across all 50 states, most of them imported from public land and agency data and never personally visited. Telling us which pins are wrong is the single most useful thing a beta tester does.
What will it cost later?
The map itself stays free — that isn't a launch promotion. Paid features are still being built and haven't been priced. Nothing you see on the pricing page is a feature we're pretending already exists.
What do you do with my email address?
Send you a confirmation, then an invite when there's one. That's it. There's no analytics, no cookie and no advertising pixel anywhere on this site — see the privacy page.
Put your name in
One email address is all that's required. We'll tell you when there's a spot, and nothing else.
