Why we're different

Built for access, not extraction. We combine a free, accurate campground search with a public-lands-only focus and a nonprofit model that sends resources right back into equity trips.

Free. No paywall.

Unlike $36/yr and $50/yr subscriptions elsewhere, core campground search stays free so every family can plan without cost friction.

Free availability alerts.

Get notified when campsites open up. We check 167,000+ sites every 2 minutes. Other sites charge $36-$50/year for this—ours is free with a free 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.

Nonprofit-owned, mission-first.

Owned by Outdoorithm Collective (501c3). 100% of any profits fund guided camping trips for families historically excluded from the outdoors.

Every adventure creates another

328+ families have already camped with Outdoorithm Collective—logging 25,000+ hours outdoors with full support. Every search you make helps fund the next first-time camper.

Find your family's next perfect adventure

Whether you're pitching your first tent or ready for your next challenge, we'll help you discover the right campground for your family's journey.

From beginner-friendly sites with clean restrooms and easy tent setups to hidden gems for seasoned campers - we've analyzed reviews, amenities, and weather so you can plan with confidence.

How Your Free Search Supports Outdoor Equity

Outdoorithm is owned by Outdoorithm Collective, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. We've committed that 100% of profits from this platform support fully-supported camping trips for families historically excluded from outdoor spaces. As the platform grows, our ability to fund Collective trips grows with it.
