6. Does the ACSI Great Little Campsites app work without an internet connection?
- If you've downloaded the campsite information, you can search on the map and view the campsite details offline.
- You’ll need an internet connection to send a booking request or email.
- You’ll need an internet connection to plan your route.
- You’ll need an internet connection to submit a review. If you write a review while offline, it will be saved and uploaded once you're connected again.
Do you have internet access, but only via a 4G connection? When searching on the map, you can press 'Offline' to avoid using data. On the left, you can see the offline map view.
7. What do the different symbols in the ACSI Great Little Campsites app mean?
Go to 'More' and then 'Legend' for an explanation of the symbols used throughout the app.
8. List view
You can also view campsites as a list instead of on the map. To do this, press 'List view'.
- The default sort order is ‘Recommended’. You can change this to sort by distance, price, or rating.
- Please note: the distance shown is as the crow flies. The actual driving route may be longer.
- Tap on a campsite or motorhome pitch in the list to view all the details.
9. Using the search bar
At the top of the map, you'll find the search bar. Here, you can search by campsite name, town, or region.
- Enter a search term, for example ‘Chateau’.
- You’ll now see campsites with ‘chateau’ in their name.
- You can also tap ‘Town’ or ‘Region’ to see places or regions with ‘chateau’ in the name.
10. Using filters
In the search bar, you’ll see a filter icon. Tap it to search using filters. For example, find campsites that allow dogs.
Under 'My filters', you can see which filters you’ve set. You can apply multiple filters, such as ‘outdoor swimming pool’ and ‘motorhomes allowed’.
To remove filters, tap the filter icon again and select ‘Clear’.
11. Save favourites, plan routes and view campsite websites
