## What is CampScout?

CampScout watches Recreation.gov campgrounds for you and sends a push notification the moment a matching site opens up — so you don't have to keep refreshing the page yourself.

FIND
Search campgrounds by name or explore an entire area on the map.

SET YOUR ALERT
Pick your dates, length of stay, and site preferences — even down to a specific loop or site number.

GET NOTIFIED
CampScout checks availability on your behalf and tells you exactly which site and dates opened up — tap the notification to jump straight to Recreation.gov and book it.

WATCH FOR RELEASE DAY
Recreation.gov opens bookings on a rolling schedule, often months in advance. CampScout estimates when your dates enter the booking window and can notify you the moment it's confirmed open.

WEATHER, BUILT IN
See a real forecast (or typical conditions for dates further out) right when you're setting up an alert.

CampScout is free to use with one active alert. Upgrade to CampScout Pro for unlimited alerts and faster checks, or grab a 30-day scan credit for a single upcoming trip.
