Absolutely horrible app
07/22/2021

Update to my review. I was unaware this app would not show local campsites that were not federal sites like state or BLM lands. This was entirely my error in not reading carefully. I am totally rescinding my prior review and will use the app as intended. Unfortunately I live in an area that has very few federal campsites…Terrible. Difficult to use. App continually says “no campsites in area”….as in the entire state of Florida. Shows three useless sites in Watkins glen NY and totally misses the state park. This app is useless and a waste of money.

The app will only show Federal campsites, as stated, such as National Park, National Forest, BLM, etc. State and Local campsites all have their own interfaces which are different. We will be coming out with a product for next year for those areas. So for now, you can get any recreation.gov campsite notification. It appears you used the free version but if bought it under a different name we will be happy to refund your money. Thanks for the note!

Good, but utility issues

This app is a good start. However, there are some issues about its practical use. It is a notifier. That is, it will tell you if a campsite opens up or is open. That is good. But when is this kind of app most needed?It is limited to federal campsites, so that is a practical limitation - notably excluding state-run campgrounds. And it looks within a radius set at 50 miles. For last minute campsite searches that may be too limited. Imagine yourself traveling and you want to find a last-minute campsite. You don't know exactly where you will end up. So, maybe you are willing to look within a range of 100 miles, or maybe even 150. Those who are planning camps with lots of lead time will probably use different apps. So, with this "notifier" it would probably be good to have a search focus on "where can we stay tonight" - that is, what are our options now. At least this is my view.

It is limited to Federal sites due to the API for federal being different than states. Many states don't even have a way to do this. Good points on all accounts. Most cancellations happen within the last week but some are obviously further out. We tried to make it so you could get a campsite last minute. We will keep your ideas in mind for future updates.

No more scouring the websites looking for cancellations of popular campgrounds for me. I just let this app do the hard work. It does it better than I possibly could!You can even set it up to watch multiple favorite campgrounds for the same date - that REALLY increases your chances of going camping on YOUR schedule. The app is very intuitive and fast to use.

I love the ability to look at pictures of the campgrounds and read reviews on the campgrounds before I book them. This app makes that super easy. The notify feature is awesome as well!
