Use cases

Trip planning — Find available campsites near a destination for specific dates
Last-minute trips — Check what's open this weekend at nearby campgrounds
National park camping — Search hard-to-book campgrounds like Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier
Group camping — Filter by max occupants to find sites that fit your group
Availability monitoring — Run on a schedule to catch cancellations at popular campgrounds

Tips

Popular campgrounds (Yosemite, Zion, Glacier) book out 6 months ahead. Check cancellations by running frequently.
Increase the radius to find less popular (and more available) campgrounds near your destination.
Set onlyAvailable: false to see all campgrounds even if fully booked.
The scraper checks all individual campsites, not just the campground-level summary.

Data source

All data comes from Recreation.gov, the official reservation system for federal campgrounds managed by the National Park Service, US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and other agencies.
