Never miss a campsite again.
CampScout watches Recreation.gov and ReserveCalifornia every hour and emails you the moment a site opens up at the campground you want.

Currently supported campground reservation sites
Popular sites book out months ahead
By the time you're ready to plan a trip, the calendar's already full.
Cancellations open up at random hours
A site can free up at 2am on a Tuesday — and be gone again by 2:05.
Refreshing by hand doesn't scale
You can't babysit a booking page across a dozen campgrounds. We can.
How it works
1. Pick your campgrounds
Search by name, or find everything within 50–500 miles of a city or your current location.
2. Tell us your dates
A flexible window, one exact trip, or "whenever the next stay opens" over the next six months.
3. We watch, you book
We check every hour and email you the moment a matching site opens — with a link straight to booking.
Everything you need to land a site
Three ways to watch dates
A flexible date range, one exact check-in/check-out trip, or the next available stay over the next ~6 months.
Search by name or location
Know the campground? Search it directly. Not sure? Search a radius from a city or your current location.
Watch specific sites
Not just the campground — pick exact sites by name or ID so you're only alerted about the spots you'd actually book.
Bulk-add in one click
Add every matching campground from a search at once, instead of setting up watches one at a time.
See what's bookable right now
Check live availability for your dates before you even set a watch — book immediately if something's already open.
Alerts on your schedule
Immediate, daily, or weekly email digests, with a per-watch snooze so you're not alerted about the same site twice.
Simple pricing
One plan. Every feature. Cancel anytime.

Frequently asked questions
Are you affiliated with Recreation.gov?
No. CampScout is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Recreation.gov, the National Park Service, the USDA Forest Service, or ReserveCalifornia.
Do you book the site for me?
No — we alert you and link straight to the booking page. You complete the reservation on Recreation.gov or ReserveCalifornia.
How often do you check for availability?
Every hour, around the clock, plus an immediate check the moment you create a new watch.
Which campgrounds can I watch?
Any campground that Recreation.gov or ReserveCalifornia returns in search — there's no curated list.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, any time, right from your billing portal. No phone calls or emails required.
Do you send text alerts?
Not yet — email alerts are available today, and text alerts are coming soon.
Is my data safe?
Your email and phone number are encrypted at rest, and your card details never touch our servers.
