Going camping? There's an app for that

(NECN/NBC News: Mike Wendland) â€" Summer is rapidly approaching and for many people, it means heading to the great outdoors to go camping.

For Droid and iPhone users, try the We Camp Here app. It displays a map of nearby campgrounds, provides detailed campground information. You can also read and write reviews, call for reservations, view the campground website or even get turn-by-turn driving directions to get you to the campground.

Looking for a free place to spend the night in your RV? Try a Walmart parking lot. This free app for the iPhone and Droids shows you which Walmarts in your area let you spend the night. It also lists which amenities are nearby.

What would a camping trip be without some great food? The Coleman Camping Cookbook is a great free app that features a meal planner, detailed menus and pictures for cooking everything you can possibly imagine.

One other cool app from Coleman: the Creepy Campfire Tales iPhone book. Gather the kids around the fire and scare the bejeebers out of them as you read from a collection of spooky stories, complete with sound effects.
