Popular campgrounds open for reservations months in advance—and sell out in minutes. But many of those campsite reservations get canceled. So, we built an app that scans sold-out parks for new availabilities and sends notifications about them. Since we did, we’ve helped campers all over North America find campsites that might have otherwise gone unused.
To create a scan, visit https://campnab.com and search for the place you want to camp. You then note your arrival date, length of stay, and how you want to pay. Once you’re done, Campnab scans that park for an opening that matches your needs. If it spots one, it notifies you with a text message.

Campnab's answer
Campnab scans sold-out state, provincial, national, and some county parks for cancelled campsite reservations and permits. When it spots an opening that matches your requirements, it sends a text message to you about the new availability.
Campnab's answer
We monitor parks throughout the US and Canada—and can check for backcountry availabilities in a number of these parks. Using Campnab is super-easy as we’ve put so much effort into making the interface clean and intuitive. Plus, it has all kinds of useful features (for example: the ability to scan only for specific campsites). Meanwhile, if you ever run into an issue, one of us will help resolve it one-on-one. Members tend to be pleased that a real human is ready to lend a hand when needed.
Campnab's answer
A lot of seasonal campers use Campnab throughout the spring, summer, and early fall. That said, we also do see a number of full-time RVers sign up for annual plans, as they need to be able to find campsite reservations year-round. We also find that some fair-weather campers use our pay-per-use scans once or twice a year.
Campnab's answer
Eric and Kim bought a campervan, but couldn’t find a place to camp as every park was sold-out. This led Kim to spend hours hitting Refresh on the parks’ booking site in hopes of finding an availability. Eric figured he could automate the process to save Kim some time—and realized that others might also like this sort of service. So, he and his friend (also named Eric) released the product publicly. Since then, Campnab has become our full-time job, as we work to keep the system running well, add new features, and introduce scanning for additional regions.
I've used Campnab twice and was able to secure great campsites in my desired location both times. Both were for very busy weekends and I wouldn't have been able to snag a campsite otherwise. Love this service so much!
I recommend this app to anyone that likes camping and will definitely use it in the future. I was interested in camping in Canyonlands National Park, UT, but it was solid booked at least 6 months in advance. Though a bit skeptical at the beginning, I tried Campnab and now I have a reservation! The setup, login, setting up alarms in Campnab was very easy and straightforward. And a few weeks later I got a message about a cancellation. Good idea and very good app!
Camping in my area is.. impossible. Sites get booked the morning they become available. It's insane. I was feeling sad about not being able to enjoy the great outdoors. BUT thanks to Campnab I was able to go camping multiple times this season. Plus, customer support is great. Thanks Campnab!

We use an app called CampNab. There's a monthly fee but we've used it the past few years with a lot of success. Basically alerts you when a site opens up (cancelled reservations). Source: 10 months ago
There is also a cool website you can pay for that will notify you. https://campnab.com/. Source: 11 months ago
There's this amazing website called Campnab that lets you, for individual extra fees (ranging from like $5 to $25 or so) let's you get email or text updates when sites from certain campgrounds become available. That site saved me a couple summers ago and let me camp in the best spots in Yellowstone, glacier, and Teton. Highly recommend using. Source: 11 months ago
Some people I know use CampNab and have had success with it. It's a paid service that notifies you via text when there's a cancellation at a park you're interested in. Source: 12 months ago

Signal works the same but without the user tracking from Meta/Facebook. Many people use it as well but I'm surprised that a majority sticks to WhatsApp. Source: 4 months ago
A question I often get is "Well are my text messages safe" The short answer is... Maybe? Depends on what type of phone you use, your carrier, and a bunch of other factors. One way to avoid this is to use an end-to-end encrypted text service like Signal if that is a concern of yours. VERY IMPORTANT NOTES: Telegram and WhatsApp are not secure. The way to think of this security is that if is retained by a server... Source: 5 months ago
The linked page is on signalusers.org, but Signal's regular home site is https://signal.org/. I'm looking all over signal.org for some link from there to signalusers.org, as that would make me more relaxed about the authenticity of the latter -- i.e., that it really is run by the same people who run signal.org. Yes, maybe I'm being paranoid. But we're talking about an app whose whole purpose is secure... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
WhatsApp and Signal: Of course I’m going to conclude with the point to point encrypted communication apps Signal and WhatsApp. Most of our clients around the world communicate in these apps more than they make phone calls or send emails. Set up an account in each app and start leveraging the text, photo, phone and video features to have easy and fast conversations with your global contacts. See https://signal.org...
