CamperMate is a mobile application used for travelling around New Zealand and Australia. The app is free and uses GPS to find nearby Points Of Interest (POI) such as public toilets, dump-stations, accommodation, rubbish bins, local travel tips and more.
CamperMate was launched in 2011 during the Rugby World Cup when an estimated 133,000 tourists visited New Zealand, [1] many travelling in campervans. [2] The app collects data from official sources, and also crowd sources new locations; once approved, these are added to the app. [3]
