The Upgraded FRC Web Directory
Last week we advised of updates we were making to the free web directory. We are happy to advise that the upgrade has now been completed and the web directory can now be accessess via your normal web browser (ie chrome, firefox, edge, safari etc)
Users will notice a new theme to each of the listings and a quicker user experience, which we are still working on to try and make it even more responsive.
The great news is that the search bar is now back in action. You can now drill down into specific areas and nominate selected features you require at a campsite or RV business.
The upgrade went well, and we were offline shorter than expected. There have been a few small bugs earlier on, but we think we have ironed most of these out so we would like to thank you all for your patience and understanding, and welcome you to jump back online and check out your next camping spot.
You can access it direct via the link
www.FreeRangeCamping.com.au/directory/
How to use the Search Bar
For those looking for a refresher on how to use the search bar, head on over to our youtube video.

If you prefer to use your smartphone or tablets, don’t forget we still have the free version of the app available in both Android or iOS versions.

With the website upgrade, we also updated our navigation menu. There are now many more options available in the top menu to navigate your way around the site. One of the new links is the Reset Password link.
One of the more common requests we have is how to reset passwords, so we have made a quick guide on how to reset them and which links to use.
