Queensland Caravan Parks
(Preview)
Qld caravan parks now a free app on iTunes and Android, only for the Ipad at the moment. A good map selection too. Slowly filling my Ipad up with camping apps and caravan pks, saves carrying all that paperwork around with you but you still have to have Wi Fi or 3g signal.
