### 5/5 — Summer Hero!

*2026-06-05*

Well worth the money in the first month alone! I have a super restrictive schedule and was able to set auto cart alerts for Yosemite during peak season and got in for 2 nights!!! Our family is so happy. I would highly recommend this service to make camping dreams come true.

**Developer response:** Oh amazing. Glad your dreams can come true. Feel free to email me photos separately. Love to see y’all enjoy nature.

### 5/5 — Got into Yosemite Valley — couldn't be happier

*2026-06-05*

Used the add-to-cart feature to snag a campsite in Yosemite Valley after months of striking out. It worked. Support was also genuinely excellent when I had a question — fast and helpful. There are similar apps out there, but this one stands out. Highly recommend.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your experience!

### 4/5 — We do ALOT of searching

*2026-06-02*

My Wife and I do alot of searching for upcoming places to stay. We also quit often after typing in dates and finding nothing for weeks. Campsite Tonight is different.

I’ve been testing the app with random dates and 3 times out of 4 it has returned some great spots. Not sure what Mike did but it is well worth the upgrade price.

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2026-05-27*

This app has saved me countless times when trying to book hard-to-get campground reservations. Some spots feel almost impossible to snag, but with campsite tonight I can finally relax knowing I actually have a chance!

**Developer response:** Oh thank you for this! Glad it has helped!

### 5/5 — We found a spot at Yellowstone!

*2026-05-25*

I have had amazing experiences using Campsite Tonight! I have been able to find almost impossible to find sites in Yellowstone and other parks. Plus, amazingly, the developer reached out to me to check in to see how my experience was going and made updates to Campsite Tonight to consider rig length. 

If there’s a Recreation(dot)gov park you want to go to, pay for the premium subscription, put your alerts in and wait for your campsites to be found. Just be ready to drop everything to complete your reservation when you get a text that your site is in your cart. 

The annual Campsite Tonight subscription is less than what you’ll spend on many regional private campgrounds for a single night, and super worth saving on not stressing out on getting in to the national parks you really want to visit.

**Developer response:** Wow. Thanks for such a thorough review and so glad you found premium worthwhile.

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2026-05-23*

My biggest fear is that everyone will find out about this app. It is so efficient and amazing. 2 months in, and we have gotten every campsite we have put in, including Yosemite in May. This is my favorite app on my phone.

**Developer response:** Thanks for this. So glad it’s been working for you.

### 5/5 — IT REALLY WORKS

*2026-05-17*

I’m just shocked that it actually worked. I was super skeptical at first about downloading the app and paying the subscription, but tbh I became desperate trying to find the perfect camp spot for my gf and I and thought what could I really lose? I added the three spots I wanted for the Memorial Day weekend and to my surprise it WORKED! I was able to get the site I wanted I’m so happy and so grateful to this app I’m most definitely recommending to everyone. It’s so worth it! Thank you Mike!

**Developer response:** Oh great to hear. Thanks for supporting me and my app!

### 5/5 — Worked perfectly

*2026-05-02*

It's just gotten harder and harder to get a simple camp spot for a few nights over the summer at our favorite NPs. Tried Campsite Tonight and we were able to get a nice spot exactly when we needed it. We had waited a few months but Mike Lee @ Campsite Tonight notified me as soon as it became available and we snagged it. You'll pay a subscription fee but it could be worth it to you-- it's a good app

**Developer response:** Agreed. It’s become so tough. Thanks for giving my app a shot and glad it came thru for you.

### 5/5 — 5 Star Service!

*2026-04-18*

With Mike’s help my group and I were able to secure spots at one of the most competitive campgrounds in California! It’s so good I almost don’t want to leave a review so the secret doesn’t get out! Fantastic service!

**Developer response:** Thanks for this and appreciate a review since you went to keep it a secret!

### 5/5 — Only thing that worked!

*2026-04-16, version 4.3.0*

National park campsites are so hard to get. This is the only way I was able to book both Yosemite and Zion. It’s really great

### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-04-09, version 4.2.8*

I think this will outdate campflare unless it gets blocked.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-03-30, version 4.2.7*

Worked as promised.

### 5/5 — Does exactly what I needed

*2026-03-28*

Tried a few travel apps and Campsite Tonight: Camping & RV is the one I stuck with. The cancellation alerts for National Parks are clutch, you set it and forget it until a spot opens up. You can tell whoever made this actually uses it. Also like that it pulls availability from multiple places so you're not checking five different sites.

**Developer response:** Thanks. If you ever have any issues just reply to any email and happy to help.

### 5/5 — App is legit

*2026-03-28, version 4.2.7*

I was able to reserve a spot that was in very high demand.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-03-22*

Put myself on an alert which worked like a charm when a site became available. I was even notified separately that a two-night minimum was required and thus booked for me. I had 15 minutes to complete the reservation transaction once notified. Highly recommend this app (even though I will have more competition for campsites)!

**Developer response:** Awesome news. Hope you enjoy your trip and glad you were able to snag a site. It’s so much less stressful with our alerts.

### 5/5 — Great tool to reserve high-demand locations!

*2026-03-21*

I started with the free version, then upgraded to premium once I understood how the app worked and how responsive the developer (Mike) is to every user who asks for help. The app is very easy to use. In my case, I was able to reserve a high-demand Southern California site. Then, unfortunately I had to cancel due to a family conflict. However, I was able to reserve the same campsite the following weekend. Without this app, I would not have been able to book my desired camping trip for six months. This single weekend trip made the premium version worth it. I plan to use the app a lot more in the future. As another reviewer wrote, this app an absolute game changer!

**Developer response:** Amazing. And it’s been great hear how the app helped your family go on a trip without planning ahead. As always, let me know how I can improve and help you get outdoors.

### 5/5 — Made getting my last min campsite doable!!

*2026-03-16, version 4.2.5*

Tried this appt out as a free trial and will be keeping my premium subscription. I was able to get a last minute reservation in Yosemite when everything is way overbooked out. So awesome!! Put the campsite right in my cart before anyone else could take it and alerted me to check out. Who has time to check recs.gov every minute ? Not me. Highly recommend this appt!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-03-23*

I have created multiple alerts and add to carts. It sends me an email and within 1 minute I have been able to click on the link and then go to my cart… nothing is there it did not auto add and I lost a few spots I was hoping to get. This isn’t a magic tool, and definitely not worth the $50 price tag. In fact I used the ad TJ cart feature but also tried to do it manually when the spots became available and o got it and my app did not. So it was no better…

**Developer response:** Oh that’s a shame. Feel free to message me (reply to any email) and I’ll be happy to help and see if there are any tips to offer. It also sounds like you may not be logged into rec gov. Mike

### 1/5 — Not that good

*2026-03-15*

You can only do three add to cart alerts maximum. You can’t just add a park and select alerts for multiple campgrounds within that park. You have to do a separate and search alert for each campground. You always have to do that search on the map thing even when you actually know the name of the park and/pr campground.

Apparently you can only set 10 availability alerts too. 

And when I go to cancel my subscription the cancellation confirmation button is blocked by the keyboard and I cannot select it.

**Developer response:** That last thing sounds like a bug. I just fixed it and put out a new version via expedited review. mike@campsitetonight.app

Regarding add to cart for campground vs park. That has more to do how I prioritize people’s adds. It’s a first in first out method.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-06-15, version 4.0.9*

Spent $40 on a year subscription. When I try to log into my rec.gov login it tells me login failed, even though my login and password is. Super glitchy app.

### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible

*2025-06-10, version 4.0.9*

Don’t waste your money on the add to cart feature! I received multiple notifications from other apps of campsite availability and this app not only didn’t notify me, it didn’t add to my cart as advertised. Deleting.

### 1/5 — Got my account banned

*2025-06-05, version 4.0.9*

The add to cart feature apparently violates the terms and services of Recreation.gov. I got my account banned for using this app

### 1/5 — Don’t waste time

*2025-06-01, version 4.0.9*

They don’t have many sites in Colorado but they try to sell you a $40 service fee immediately after you download the “free app”

### 2/5 — ReserveAmerica.com

*2026-03-08, version 4.2.4*

All Alaska state parks are managed in reserveamerica.com. I will cancel my subscription if this isn’t added.

### 3/5 — Too soon to tell

*2026-07-24*

I paid 60 dollars for this app yesterday.  Today I got a push notification that ‘Campsite Tonight will shut down’ unless I give a review to keep the developer building.  Would hope the 60 dollars took care of my end already but here you go…

18 hours and no sites booked.  App looks clean and well built, but again, no real success from it yet in terms of results promised.  Hopeful it helps get my family and I into the woods this weekend

**Developer response:** If you don’t have success with a site then please reach out and I can see if I can offer some tips.

### 3/5 — Great idea for an app.

*2026-02-04, version 4.2.2*

3 out of 5 stars due to when the app is compared to other availability apps or websites it fails to notify on a timely manner or even to notify at all. 

Concept is great, but it isn’t dependable. The recreation gov app does a better job sending out notifications.

### 3/5 — Hard to use

*2022-11-27, version 144*

Yeah it’s a small space to have all that info but I couldn't clear the screen of advertisements and the previous search to make another search or just to see the map without any tags.

### 5/5 — I got my Yosemite site

*2026-08-11*

If you know anything about the Pines campgrounds in Yosemite you know they are impossible to get. Many people don’t even try because of what they hear. I signed up for campsite tonight on August 1st and by August 11th I got my campsite in September for 2 nights! Selfishly I don’t want anyone else to use this but I wanted to share my experience to support the developers.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your support on the review! There is plenty of Yosemite to go around!

### 5/5 — One of my favorite apps of all time

*2026-08-05*

I never write reviews but this one is worth it. Even bought the annual membership because its is that much worth it to me because we like to camp as much as we can. The add to cart feature, alerts via text, notif, and/or email, and the chrome extension give this app an edge and have been able to help me land actual reservations with all the competition out there. Truly amazing!

**Developer response:** Oh awesome. Glad it worked out!

### 5/5 — Worth every penny

*2026-07-21*

I was hesitant about spending so much for the app, but figured it was worth a shot. I have an upcoming trip to Yellowstone/Tetons and last-minute decided to camp instead of do hotels. A lot of the best campsites were long booked up. This has gotten me nights at those super competitive campgrounds! Well worth it. The add to cart feature is amazing!!

**Developer response:** That is great that you got Yellowstone and Tetons for a trip. Glad it’s worked for you.

### 5/5 — Works Well

*2026-07-06*

I purchased the subscription in hopes of getting a sold out yosemite campsite! Hope one opens up and the app gets a chance to snag one! Overall app works great and is easy to use. UPDATE: Yosemite reservation secured on desired dates. no wonder i couldn’t get the manual availability alerts. Make sure to setup text alerts on the app, so you’ll be able to checkout right away.

**Developer response:** Awesome!

### 5/5 — It makes a challenging system more accessible

*2026-07-04*

I know the reserve California system very well. Over the past year since they changed their website it has become increasingly more difficult to secure sites. This app has helped me secure incredibly competitive spots, like Doheny, Refugio, and Yosemite. I am very pleased with the developers response time and the user interface is super easy to use. The notifications are great. The add to cart feature for national parks is awesome! I highly recommend this app.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the great review. Let me know if I can ever help and improve things.

### 5/5 — A game changer. But shhh!

*2026-06-19*

I’ve been reluctant to post a review for this app out of fear that when others find out about it, it’ll work less often! But the truth is, it really is a game changer.  

Anyone who lives in CA knows that getting a campsite—never mind at popular, beloved campgrounds—is cutthroat! Setting alarms for 8am six months out only to see every site booked before 8:01am. This app has changed all that for me and my family. I’ve been able to book five different camping trips over the past year, at destinations that showed zero available sites because of Campsite Tonight. 

I’ve got two young kids who LOVE to camp (about to take the older one on her first backpacking trip) and I credit this app with having made it possible for us to get out as often (and as memorably) as we have. Definitely worth it!

**Developer response:** Oh this is great. So glad your kids get to appreciate the awesome nature in California due to the app.

### 5/5 — Worth the money!!

*2026-06-18*

Like you, I read through the reviews, thinking “could this actually work as easily as this?” I decided to gamble on a month of premium—100% worth the price of admission! Snagged a campsite at my first choice, IN YOSEMITE, IN JULY, within 18 hours! The add-to-cart option buys you 15 minutes to see the notification, weigh your options and pay, which is perfect. I surprised my husband with an unexpected upgrade to our trip next month, so excited. As we plan more adventures, I will most definitely snag the yearly subscription. 

PS: Support your independent developers!! In a sea of corporations and AI garbage, these people do it for the passion and not the money. And this app is 100% functional passion! Thanks for a great app!

**Developer response:** Thank you for such a great review. Hope you have a great time with your husband.

### 5/5 — 100% Worth Using

*2026-06-15*

I was able to find weekend spots and better campsite numbers using this app after constantly searching and checking/rechecking the individual campsites myself. Just purchase this app and stop wasting ur time checking, you’ll unlikely be able to come across opens as they become available without this

**Developer response:** Awesome. Thanks for this review.

### 5/5 — Money well spent!

*2026-06-10*

I've been really impressed with Campsite Tonight. The alerts come through quickly, and I've been able to book several campsites that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. What I appreciate most is that it saves me from constantly checking for cancellations. Instead of spending hours refreshing reservation sites, I can go about my day and get notified when something opens up. The service has worked exactly as I hoped it would, and it's become part of how I plan camping trips now. Definitely money well spent.

**Developer response:** That’s great to hear! Thanks for your support.

### 5/5 — We do ALOT of searching

*2026-06-09*

My Wife and I do alot of searching for upcoming places to stay. We also quit often after typing in dates and finding nothing for weeks. Campsite Tonight is different.

I’ve been testing the app with random dates and 3 times out of 4 it has returned some great spots. In fact, we are currently at a spot Campsite Tonight at a hard to get spot in San Diego. Not sure what Mike did but it is well worth the upgrade price!

**Developer response:** Oh great. Thanks for this. Feel free to let me know how to make it 5 stars!
