Roam with a plan.

One map for life on the road: where camping is allowed, what the conditions are at the spot itself, and an assistant you can just ask.

The problem

Working out where to stop takes three apps, a Facebook group, and a guess.

One app has the campgrounds. Another has the boondocking spots. Nothing tells you what the weather, the smoke or the cell service will be when you get there. So you cross-reference, you screenshot, and you still end up rolling into a trailhead at dusk hoping the sign does not say no overnight parking.

What it is

One map instead of three apps.

Vroam is a copilot for life on the road. One map that shows where dispersed camping is allowed, where the water, showers and dump stations are, which carriers have coverage, and the weather, wildfire, smoke and air quality for the exact spot you are looking at. Plan a drive by time and direction and read the route by elevation before you set out. Ask it anything in plain language, and it answers with real spots instead of links.

This is for people living on the road, not for off-road recreation. If you want trail difficulty and rock crawling, onX and Gaia already do that well; Vroam is for the days when the vehicle is your home.

The rest of it

Every capability has a page.

Free camping, overnight parking, water and dump, cell coverage, fire and air, weather, planning a drive, and asking in plain language.

Stewardship

Camp legally. Leave no trace.

Where we have the record, a spot shows what kind of land it sits on and the general overnight rule for that land. Where we do not, Vroam says so instead of guessing. Posted signs and local rules always win, and the fastest way to lose access to public land is for enough people to ignore them. Our community guidelines spell out the rest, and our stewardship page explains how we think about it.

Who builds this

Made by someone who needed it.

I am Jeff. I built Vroam because I got tired of the three-apps-and-a-guess routine and could not find anything that treated finding a legal place to sleep as the main event. More about why.

Vroam is coming to iOS, with Android in build.

Free to start. Pro is coming after launch.
