### 5/5 — Simple but super useful

*2017-05-25, version 0.2.1*

Glad someone finally made this information easy to access. Super frustrating trying to find available times to camp manually...Thanks to these developers for putting this together!

### 5/5 — Feel like a camping VIP

*2017-05-25, version 0.2.1*

This is do cool! It's like I have someone working for me and waiting to pounce when the campsite I want becomes available.

### 5/5 — Been looking for an app like this!

*2017-05-25, version 0.2.1*

The government's reservation site, Reserve America, is really frautrsting! Looking forward to having a better tool at my disposal!

### 5/5 — Here we come!

*2017-05-25, version 0.2.1*

Not an avid camper but that's precisely why app relieves a huge amount of stress and anxiety around navigating campground reservations. Huge UX improvement!

### 5/5 — App that fixes a major problem

*2017-05-25, version 0.2.1*

I no longer have to wait till 7am, constantly clicking refresh, to see available campsites on the government websites in order to reserve a campsite in Yosemite... I can set a few dates on this app and let the notifications roll in to let me know when I can book. It takes the stress out of booking and is simple to use!

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2017-05-25, version 0.2.1*

Love this app. The sites for booking are too painful to visit and check dates and times, this app has saved me a bunch of time already :))

### 5/5 — This App is a Gem!!! 💎💎💎

*2017-05-24, version 0.2.1*

I have to say, booking in Yosemite has always been a nightmare, especially when sites first come available. This app really makes it easy to choose your desired dates for sites that don't yet exist. If there is availability, there's even the option to move from camp site to camp site if the same site is unavailable. This developer thought everything through.. well worth the 5 stars and well worth the few bucks to get my foot in the door on a reservation!

### 5/5 — This is great!

*2017-05-22, version 0.2*

I am always refreshing the Yosemite website looking for a campsite 😤. This is saves me a ton of time!

### 5/5 — Great Idea!!! Huge time saver.

*2017-05-20, version 0.2*

This is one of the more creative and helpful apps I own, because it saves me so much time. My wife and I don't plan ahead that well and have had to rely on cancellations or first come first serve spots just about every time we have gone camping somewhere popular. I literally end up spending hours online looking for spots to open up. This app changes that! Can't wait till they get even more sites!

### 5/5 — User friendly!

*2017-05-20, version 0.2*

Super helpful app! Notifies you when a spot is available at places than are normally impossible to book 🙌🏼

### 5/5 — Stoked

*2017-04-22, version 0.1*

OMG! So glad I found this app! Wish I had it a long time ago! So easy to use and so helpful! Gonna make the Sumer camp outs great! Thanks to the builder!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work in FL

*2022-06-17, version 1.4*

It doesn’t work for Florida state parks. It finds the park, but errors when trying to retrieve availability.

I tried to report an issue within the app, but pressing the button doesn’t work and did literally nothing.

So I tried going to the website, upcamp.co, but it’s a dead site and that also didn’t work.

So I guess this app is abandoned?

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2020-11-25, version 1.4*

Tried to use the app on multiple campgrounds  and when I select the campground it tries to load up and then tells me not accessible try back later. Dies not allow me to even select a date to lookup..

**Developer response:** Hi Captsteve,

Sorry about your lousy experience! Can you send us a quick email at support@upcamp.co and let us know which campgrounds you were having trouble with? We’ll get this fixed ASAP.

Thanks!

### 1/5 — Nothing really loads. Just calendars with green dots.

*2020-02-17, version 1.3*

Terrible

**Developer response:** Hi emberleo -

Sorry about your experience with calendars that never loaded. We would love to hear more about your problem (e.g. which campgrounds) so that we can be sure it's fixed! You can reach out at support@upcamp.co anytime. Thanks!

### 2/5 — Only supports ONE PLACE

*2017-06-29, version 0.3*

Edit: beta only covered YS. New update covers more parks! I look forward to exploring the update. 
Original review:  Low value app. Only supports Yosemite. That's it. App should be renamed YosemiteCamp

### 2/5 — Only supports Yosemite

*2017-06-02, version 0.2.1*

This app only works for Yosemite.  That should be noted in the description.  Also, it's unintuitive - it took me several tries to figure out how to "watch" for sites.

The notifications don't match the selection interface. For example, I had to choose June 3-4 in order to book a single night (which does make sense), but the notification I got said the spot became available from June 3-3.

### 3/5 — Needs more options

*2018-12-28, version 1.2*

I do love what this app can do, however, i keep getting notified literally every 3-5 minutes for the last two weeks that there is a spot available and it’s an ADA spot. There’s no way to disable it and the spot I’m watching is still 5 months away. I’m going to have to uninstall. Maybe look into the ADA options OR let people turn off notifications after 50 a day 😝

### 5/5 — Yosemite over a 3 day Weekend?

*2019-08-13, version 1.2*

Using this app I was able to book a Yosemite campground over a 3 day weekend, which is almost unthinkable. However I’m subscribed to a few other campgrounds and haven’t received any notifications - maybe no one has canceled? Either way this app deserves 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2018-06-26, version 1.1*

This is an absolutely amazing app for people that are trying to camp in a national park that requires reservations for camp grounds. Easy to use, makes the reservation a breeze, compared to the official website. Vacation booked thanks to this app! Thanks

### 5/5 — Yosemite end of June!!

*2018-05-31, version 1.0*

Just scored 3 nights on the Valley floor.  Your app beat out my OCD. It’s legit. Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Stop worrying about booking campsites

*2018-05-23, version 0.4.1*

This app is a great time saver. I have successfully booked 4 times (multiple campsites a couple times). Stop worrying about booking sites early and just use this app.

### 5/5 — Solved my problem!

*2018-04-04, version 0.4.1*

Perfect tool for finding a summer campsite at Yosemite. Allowed me to find a spot when I thought all hope was lost.

### 5/5 — Great concept!

*2017-07-18, version 0.3*

This app helped me find a campsite in Yosemite in the middle of summer! As a heads-up, you need to book the site immediately after you get a notification. The sites go fast - no fault of the app. This is a new app and has a few minor limitations, but I look forward to seeing how it grows and continues to develop. Also, the customer service is exceptional!

### 5/5 — App is a gem!

*2017-06-13, version 0.2.1*

This app is amazing. The biggest issue with campsites is finding out when they open up and now I can with UpCamp!

### 5/5 — This is amazing!!!

*2017-05-31, version 0.2.1*

Finally I don't have to look through each and every campsite to see what's avail. This app brings it all together! I love this!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-05-27, version 0.2.1*

My family and I have always wanted to camp at Yosemite but planning 6 months in advance isn't even perceivable. This lets us have a chance of possibly getting a campsite in a reasonable planning period. Definitely an awesome resource for a weekend or mid week spontaneous trip. I hope it spreads to other campsites especially in California!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2017-05-26, version 0.2.1*

Great app and just in time for summer camping!  Easy to use and a major time saver.
