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.
We have been using Campnab for the most popular camping destinations around the country and have had 100% success in finding not only a campsite, but the specific waterfront campsites we always seek out. I highly recommend this campsite service to all of our friends and family, i promise you will not be disappointed! We have used this service at least 15 different times in the past few years and are more than satisfied.
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!

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
Far Out app - Offline GPS phone app showing similar things as the AWOL guide, but also includes up to date comments from other hikers and using GPS will tell you mileage till the next water source, shelter, etc. 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

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: about 1 year ago
There is also a cool website you can pay for that will notify you. https://campnab.com/. Source: about 1 year 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: about 1 year 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: about 1 year ago
