How It Works

From discovery to adventure in three simple steps

1

Find Your Campground

Search 4,000+ public campgrounds by location, amenities, or activity. Filter by what matters to your family.

2

Set an Alert

Popular sites book fast. We check availability every 2 minutes and notify you instantly when spots open up.

3

Book & Go

Reserve directly through the official booking site. Use our packing lists and weather forecasts to prepare.

Why we're different

Built for access, not extraction. We combine intelligent campground discovery—real camper experiences, distilled with AI—with a public-lands-only focus and a mission that gives back to first-time campers.

Every feature is free.

No paywalls, no locked features. Premium members get higher limits on the features that cost us most to run, plus an ad-free experience—all while supporting our mission.

Availability alerts included.

Get notified when campsites open up. We check 221,069 sites every 2 minutes. Competitors charge $36-$50/year—we include alerts free with every account.

Established public lands only.

We list front-country, drive-to campgrounds with facilities. No dispersed or secret spots—responsible, beginner-friendly, and protective of fragile places.

Mission-driven, giving back.

A portion of profits supports Outdoorithm Collective, our sister 501(c)(3) that funds guided camping trips for families who've never had the chance to experience the outdoors.
