What's New on Quiet Camping
A roundup of the newest features: your personal site library, folders & sharing, trust levels, unlock caps, and more.
Your Personal Site Library (My Sites)
The My sites feature gives every member a private library. Save spots you've found, keep your own notes and photos, and organize them into folders — all before (or without) submitting anything to the community. Nothing in your library is public until you choose to submit it.
From the Dashboard or the Sites page, switch to My sites to see your saved spots, add folders, and manage your collection. Your private sites appear as blue pins on the map.
Import Sites from GPX / KML
Already track your spots in a GPS app or have a GPX/KML file of your favourite routes and waypoints? You can import them straight into My sites — no manual re-entry:
- On the Dashboard, open My sites and click Import GPX/KML.
- Select a .gpx, .kml or .xml file (most GPS apps and mapping tools export one of these).
- Your waypoints become private site entries with coordinates and names — ready to organize into folders, review, and submit when you choose.
It's the fastest way to bring years of scouting into the network while keeping everything private until you decide to share it.
Folders & Sharing
Organize your private library into folders, then share a folder (or individual sites) with trusted people via a read-only link. Only members can view what you share — a link never exposes your sites to the public. Every share can be revoked at any time or given an expiry date.
When you share by email, include your referral link so your friends can join Quiet Camping through you. Sites shared with you appear as orange pins in your map.
Trust Levels
Members earn a trust level through quality contributions — approved site submissions, approved reviews and condition updates, resolved reports, and referrals. Trusted members get an enhanced, fully detailed presentation for protected sites, with a shield badge. Your trust level shows on your Dashboard. See the dedicated guide for details.
Unlock Caps & More Protection
Sites now carry an annual unlock cap (default 10 per year) so no single spot gets overexposed in one season. Admin approval includes automatic near-duplicate checks and Park4Night / iOverlander cross-referencing, with findings recorded in the review notes.
Where to Find Everything
The Dashboard is your home base: your trust level, badges, credits, referral link, shared-with-me section, and My-sites management all live there. The Sites page toggles between the community list and your private library, with an embedded map. The dedicated Map shows community pins plus your blue and orange private layers.
Install the Quiet Camping App (PWA)
Quiet Camping is now a Progressive Web App (PWA) — install it on your phone's home screen for fast, app-like access. It works offline: your saved spots, unlocked sites, and shared sites are available even without an internet connection. No app store needed.
