Is there a free alternative to The Dyrt PRO?

Yes — Public Lands Map is free on the web for the public-land side of camping: BLM, national-forest, state, and Crown land color-coded by manager plus the legal roads, no account to browse. The Dyrt PRO charges a subscription to unlock the same public-land overlays and offline maps. Our only paid feature is offline download, a one-time pass.

What does The Dyrt do that this map doesn't?

The Dyrt's strength is its community library of campground reviews, photos, and ratings. We don't offer reviews or photos — our campsite pins are existence (from OpenStreetMap), not a reviewed registry. For reading others' experiences of a specific campground, The Dyrt is the better tool.

Does this map show BLM and dispersed camping for free?

Yes. The map color-codes BLM and national-forest land (where dispersed camping is the rule-of-thumb) for free, with the legal motorized roads overlaid, no subscription. The color names the manager and the rule, then links the official source to verify.

Does it work offline like The Dyrt PRO?

Yes. Browsing is free online; offline use is a one-time regional pass, not a recurring subscription.

Is there a free alternative to The Dyrt for finding camping?

Yes — for the land-status side of camping, this map is free on the web. The Dyrt is a campground-finding app, and its public-land (BLM/USFS) overlays plus offline maps sit behind a paid PRO subscription — public-land data that's already public. Public Lands Map gives that layer color-coded by manager and the legal motorized roads free and instant in your browser, with offline as a one-time pass, never a subscription. Where The Dyrt's reviews are the better fit, we say so below.

The Dyrt PRO charges a subscription to unlock its public-land (BLM and national-forest) overlays and offline maps. Public Lands Map gives that land-status answer free: the map color-codes federal, state, and provincial land by its manager — gold BLM and Crown land where dispersed camping is the rule-of-thumb, green national forest, brown national parks (permit/campground only), grey private — and draws the legal MVUM and GTLF roads (a legal designation; county roads record existence only, never a permit). Being honest: The Dyrt's genuine strength is its community library of campground reviews and photos; if you want to read others' experiences before you book, The Dyrt has the deeper review database, and we don't replicate it.
