Pick a Trip Pass when you have one trip in mind, or become a member if you camp throughout the year. There’s also a free plan that watches one campground and emails you when something opens.
Free is email only. No texts or cart countdowns, and we check less often. It still works. It just isn’t the fastest option.
Trip Pass and Member open when we launch. Notify me when you launch.
Before you pay, go look at the actual alert and release clock. You should know what you’re buying.
See the live previewOnce you leave for the park’s booking page, we can’t see what happens next. That’s on purpose. We’re here to watch for the opening, not sit inside your reservation account.
No. We send you to the park’s own booking page with your dates already set. You finish the reservation there. We never book on your behalf.
Because a campsite can sit in someone’s cart for fifteen minutes. A service that scans every fifteen minutes can miss it completely. Every paid plan here gets our fastest alert lane.
One trip, one price. We watch until you check in, and then the Trip Pass is done. If you’re trying to save one camping trip, you shouldn’t have to sign up for another monthly bill.
Yes, and pausing is optional. Camping is seasonal, so you can pause your membership and keep your Campground Searches, your saved places, and your history. Canceling is always available and is a separate thing: it stops the next renewal, and your access runs through the end of the billing period you already paid for.
Verified August 2026. Prices and speeds are from each company’s own public pricing page.
