### 1/5 — Needs geographical organization

*2026-08-05*

I had great hopes for this app. When you launch it, you can select whether you want national parks, state parks, etc. Um… it’s kind of important to search the parks that are within driving distance. I don’t need to know about national parks over 1000 miles away. If you want a high tech spreadsheet of all of the campgrounds in the US, sorted by type, this app is for you. If you want to go on vacation somewhere within 500 miles, find another app.

### 5/5 — Best campsite finder

*2026-07-23*

I love being able to search for available campsites of every kind—state parks, BLM land, county parks, private, RV, parks, and more—all in one place. This app removes my biggest barrier to getting outdoors by making it incredibly easy to find available camping options. I’m also impressed by the amount of helpful information it provides, including campground, amenities, local weather, cell coverage (!), packing suggestions, and nearby points of interest. It’s become an indispensable tool for planning camp trips.

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-07-05*

Finally a great camping app!

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-08-11

Links to campgrounder.io now open right here in the app, so a campground a friend texts you lands on the real page instead of bouncing you out to Safari.

Behind the scenes, performance and stability work throughout.

### 1.3 — 2026-07-21

We packed a lot into this one. Here's what's new around the campground.

A fresh face. New logo, cleaner type, same honest way to find your next site.

Live availability. Over 100 federal campgrounds now show how many sites are actually open tonight, pulled straight from Recreation.gov and refreshed through the day. When Yosemite says zero, you'll know before you drive.

Cancellation Watch. Everything full? Watch any sold-out federal camp, pick your dates, and we'll email you the second a spot opens. Cancellations go fast. Now you're faster.

The Big 30. Not sure where to start? We ranked the 30 most-booked camps in North America, from Yosemite Valley to Banff. Tap one and go.

Every state, one search. Type a state name, or just "VT," and get every campground in it, with the in-state spots up top.

Booking that lands where you're going. Tap Check Availability and arrive on your park's real reservation page, dates and site map ready. No more retyping.

47 new campgrounds. Fresh spots across 17 states that needed more love, from Vermont's Smugglers' Notch to the clearest lake in Kansas.

Wildfire Watch. See live fire activity near the camps you're eyeing, so nothing catches you off guard at the trailhead.

Easier on the eyes. We brightened the text and lines throughout, so listings stay crisp in bright daylight, right where it counts.

Keep your boots by the door. More trails ahead.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-02
