Hey Product Hunt! I’m excited to share Dispersed with you today.
THE PROBLEM
I run a camping YouTube channel exploring public lands across America. I was spending $40-60/night at campgrounds when thousands of free spots existed on USFS and BLM lands – but finding them was a nightmare. Hours jumping between government websites, outdated forums, and incomplete apps.
I’d show up to find “No Camping” signs or closed roads. There had to be a better way.
THE SOLUTION
As a developer, I built Dispersed – pulling data directly from USFS, BLM, and National Park Service sources to create the most complete public lands camping database available.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Official Sites Free Forever: All official sites and campgrounds from government sources are free forever, period.
Data-Centric: Official geodatabase sources, not crowdsourced guesses. Most apps miss 70-80% of campgrounds.
Validated Public Land: Every site verified on confirmed public land using official land boundary sources and spatial analysis. No accidental trespassing.
Verified Submissions: We verify every user submission. Submitted campsites are a premium only feature, so everyone has skin in the game to keep the quality high.
Better UX: Built mobile-first for field conditions. Offline maps, satellite imagery, works without cell service.
Real Reviews: Community Check Ins with photos from actual campers.
