Campflare is a free service that will send you a text when someone cancels their campground reservation.
We need to talk about campground reservations. Bots and scalpers have plagued our National Parks and public lands by purchasing reservations as soon as they become available. Tech should not decide who and who doesn't get to enjoy the outdoors. It's time for a change. Regulation and captchas are not the solution — tech will always find a way around it. The only way to stop the scalpers is to drown them out. Campflare is a free service that will send you a text or email when a campground becomes available. It's free, and it always will be.

If you don't have any guide book that calls out water and re-supply opportunities, allow me to recommend the "AWOL Guide". I'd argue it's the best $20 you can spend if you're new to AT hiking. Also if you have a smartphone, you don't want to be without Guthook/FarOut. Source: about 1 year ago
The good resource is Far Out Guides. Are you planning to self-shuttle or hire someone to drive you? It's best to meet your shuttle driver where you plan to finish and have them drive you to the start. That way you finish at your car. Source: over 1 year ago

Looks very nice! Do you know https://faroutguides.com/ (formerly GutHook)? They have offline-friendly paid maps of a lot of the largest scenic trails in America. I hiked the Appalachian Trail last year and FarOut was standard kit. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I’ve experienced the same frustration in California. I don’t think there’s much reselling as you can’t transfer a reservation in most places, but I have met some technical people who have built bots for themselves and friends. I remember when I was young and my mom would always refresh the reservation page every day and manage to find a site eventually when someone cancels. However this doesn’t happen much more as...

I have never done this personally, yet I have heard about people trying this to circumvent the system. In my opinion, this is the exact reason why its hard to find a site in the first place. It is a downward spiral.
