How it works

How Crowded Camper watches for Recreation.gov campsite openings

Create a watch, choose your filters, and let Crowded Camper check for campsite availability while you get back to normal life.

Start watching

1. Pick a campground

Search for a Recreation.gov campground, choose the dates you want, and save the watch under a trip name.

2. Narrow the match

Add filters for minimum nights, arrival days, specific campsites, site types, or double sites so Crowded Camper knows what is worth alerting you about.

3. Book when an alert arrives

When matching availability appears, Crowded Camper sends an alert with booking links. Availability can move fast, so the goal is to help you act quickly.
