The Map
The main map on the homepage displays all published locations — camping, boondocking, dump stations, rest areas, and more. Three ways to view it:
- Standard Map — the classic road map, available to everyone.
- Satellite — the actual aerial photo of the terrain.
- Hybrid — the satellite photo with roads and place names overlaid, often easier to locate than a satellite photo alone.
Satellite and Hybrid are reserved for Contributors, accessible via the icon at the top right of each map (homepage and location sheets).
The “Near Me” button centers the map on your current location. On mobile, a button just above the map opens it in full screen for distraction-free navigation.
The “legend” button, below the map, allows Contributors to filter the map to display only one category at a time (just boondocking, just dump stations...).
The Location Sheet
Each location has its own page with description, amenities (electricity, showers, drinking water, etc.), photos, and location map. Here are the buttons you’ll find and what they do.
Street View
The Street View button opens Google’s 360° view directly at the location, when available — useful for previewing a narrow access or uncertain path before committing with your RV. Google Street View does not cover all roads, especially in remote areas: if coverage does not exist at that location, the button simply does not appear on the sheet.
Route and Roadmap
A button opens Google Maps with the driving route to the location, calculated from your position or a starting city. For Contributors, a printable roadmap consolidates the description, amenities, GPS coordinates, and complete route on a single page — handy in areas without cellular service, where checking the site from your phone is not an option.
Reported Prices
For established campgrounds and dump stations, a Contributor passing through can indicate the last price paid — useful since rates change from season to season. A menu displays the 5 most recent amounts reported by the community, without ever revealing who submitted them.
Recent Activity — not the same as a comment
These are two different areas on the sheet, with different purposes:
- 🕐 Recent Visitor Activity — the “I passed through here” button is used to report a real change observed on-site: closed, renovated, new services, equipment missing. This keeps the information up to date for the entire community, and it can also update the amenities or category of the sheet.
- 💬 Comments — further down the page, this is the place for a question, general opinion, or anecdote. This is not verified and does not change the official information of the location.
In short: you have really visited the location and something has changed → Recent Activity. You just want to leave a note → Comments.
Report a Problem — two buttons, two different reasons
- 📝 Report a Problem (“Is there an error on this sheet?”) — for a factual error: wrong location, wrong category, inappropriate or incorrect information on the sheet itself.
- 🚫 Report as Closed (“Is this location closed?”) — specifically to indicate that the location no longer exists or is no longer accessible. An explanation is requested (what is happening on-site?), and a counter shows how many people have reported it.
Use the first for a poorly filled sheet, the second for a location that no longer exists.
Around the Sheet
Depending on the location, you can also see: the Plan B chosen by other travelers when this location was full, up to 4 nearby locations in the same area, and trips shared by other Contributors passing through this spot.
Contributing to the Community
Propose a Location — the “Propose a Location” button in the menu allows any logged-in member to add a new place to the map, with its location, category, and amenities. The sheet goes through validation before being published (except for trusted contributors).
Add a Location from the Map — on the main map, a long press (or right-click on a computer) anywhere opens “Add a Location Here” directly, with the position already filled in.
Edit My Description — if you are the owner of a location (the one who created it), a “✏️ Edit My Description” link allows you to directly correct the original text of your sheet.
🏆 Reward Badges
Your profile displays a showcase of badges earned through your contributions (first sheet published, 3rd sheet, and more) — badges not yet earned remain visible, grayed out with a 🔒, to show what is left to unlock.
The Trip Planner
Accessible from the “My Account” menu, the Planner replaces the simple list of favorites: create a trip by project (“Gaspésie summer 2026”, “Wine Route”...) and organize it day by day, with locations, dates, and statistics (gas, camping) that go with it. Each trip has its own interactive map, and you can reorder stops by drag and drop.
Private Locations — from the Planner, the “Keep this location private” option creates a location that is never submitted to the team and never appears on the public map: visible only to you, for your personal planning.
Share My Trip — each trip gets a nice presentation page (cover photo, days, photos). It remains private by default; a checkbox at the bottom of the page allows it to be made visible to other Contributors, who find it in “Contributors' Trips”. You can add background music and choose between two presentations: the classic photo grid, or “Route”, which connects your stops with bubbles and arrows like a real itinerary.
My Tools
From “My Account” and from your trip page: a reusable departure checklist, a travel journal to note your impressions on visited locations, a water/electricity autonomy calculator for off-grid stays, and an expense tracker by category.
Export and Import Your Locations — for Contributors, download your favorites in GPX (for a dedicated GPS), CSV, or HTML, or import an existing list.
Weather Alerts
From “My Account” → “My Alerts”, add up to 10 cities to monitor. A bubble alerts you directly on the site as soon as a severe weather alert becomes active for one of them (tornado, wildfire, flood...), and you can activate a summary by email sent a maximum of once a day.
The Assistant
The floating button present on almost every page opens an assistant to whom you can ask a question in natural language — “a free dump station in Beauport”, “what is boondocking”. For a location search, it only returns real sheets already published on the site, with a direct link to each.
The “In My Area” button automatically starts a search within 100 km of your position. The assistant also answers general questions about camping and boondocking (public lands, regulations...), not just to find a specific location — with a limit on questions per day and per week, displayed directly in the conversation.
Offline, Mobile App, and Dark Mode
For Contributors, the map and sheets already viewed remain accessible even without a network — useful near several remote camping locations. The “Add to Home Screen” button, at the bottom of the screen on mobile, installs the site as a real app on your phone. And the 🌙 “Dark Mode” button, in the footer, switches the entire site to dark theme.
🏕️ Rent Your Land by the Night
Do you own land suitable for an overnight stay in an RV (RV stop, private site...)? Activate the rental on your sheet to indicate a price and become bookable directly from your page.
A visitor who books chooses their dates and leaves a phone number — you immediately receive an email with their contact details to discuss the details and payment together. 123Go.Quebec never processes this payment: it is settled directly between you and the tenant. Each reservation only blocks its own dates; the rest of the year remains bookable by others.
💡 Promote Your Sheet
Are you the business owner behind a sheet (campground, restaurant, shop...) and it is not yet linked to your account? A “Claim This Sheet” button on the page allows you to become the recognized manager, for free and after a brief verification.
Once your sheet is claimed, you can pay to promote it: a priority position on the homepage, in your region or city, with view and click statistics reserved for you alone. It appears in a discreet “Suggestions” section, mixed with normal results — never in the form of an advertising banner.
