A unique modern app for van lifers: beta.ugo.camp

Introductory info https://www.youtube.com/@ugo-camp/shorts

Ugo helps van lifers, RVers, and campers find places to stay, plan trips with AI-assisted suggestions, and connect with other travelers—all from one app.

Hey r/VanLife,

I'm Zane, a full-time van lifer with a 2017 Ford Transit 250 and over 50 years of programming experience. After years on the road (Mexico winters, high-altitude boondocking in Colorado, solar setups, etc.), I built UGO.camp — a modern UI designed specifically for nomads and other road trippers.

Key features:

• AI-assisted roadtrip planning and smart routing for van/RV needs
• Reliable offline maps
• Layers for BLM, Forest, and other land types.
• Easy discovery of camping, boondocking, and free sites with better visibility
• Data syncs automatically. Created a review while offline? Sends automatically when online.

The beta is live and free. Check it out here: https://beta.ugo.camp/

I'm looking for real testers (vans, trucks, small RVs) to try it on actual trips and share feedback on what’s helpful and what needs improvement.

Sign up for full beta access or just browse the site and let me know your thoughts. You can also see demo videos on the channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ugo-camp

Appreciate any help from the community — this is built for us nomads.

Safe travels,
Zane
