DryRig vs AllTrails
AllTrails is a hiking and trail app with trail maps, reviews, and offline maps on its paid tier.
AllTrails and DryRig are complementary rather than direct competitors. AllTrails is a hiking and trail app with maps and reviews; offline maps come with its paid tier. DryRig is for finding where to camp and park overnight — free dispersed sites, RV parks, overnight parking, and service stops — from authoritative public data, free and offline-ready.
What DryRig includes
Every place — all 133,000+ of them across 63 US states and Canadian provinces — comes from authoritative public sources (OpenStreetMap, NPS, Recreation.gov, the FCC, Ookla Open Data, the National Tunnel Inventory) or real scraped listings. Counts below are live from the latest data export.

About AllTrails
We don't assert precise, dated feature lists for other apps — those change, and the honest move is to check the source and try a few. Here's AllTrails's general positioning:
- AllTrails focuses on hiking, biking, and running trails, with crowdsourced reviews and route maps.
- Offline maps and some navigation features are part of its paid (AllTrails+) subscription.
- It is not a campground or RV overnight-parking finder.
Where AllTrails is a strong choice: finding and navigating hiking trails once you've parked or made camp.
Our approach: real data, no fabrication
When DryRig doesn't have a value — a coverage reading, a review — it shows that honestly rather than inventing a number. That's the difference we lead with: every count on this page is traceable to an authoritative public source. Many travelers keep more than one app installed; download DryRig free and compare it against AllTrails on your own routes.
