🏞️ National Park Service Parks Scraper
🚀 Export the U.S. National Park Service catalog in seconds. Pull 470+ parks, monuments, historic sites, seashores, and recreation areas with hours, fees, activities, alerts, and contacts. No login, no manual CSV wrangling.
The National Park Service Parks Scraper exports the official NPS catalog maintained by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Each park record returns 22 fields, including park code, designation, states, coordinates, full description, weather and directions info, contact details, entrance fees and passes, operating hours per unit, activities, topics, addresses, and a gallery of representative images.
The catalog covers every NPS unit: 63 designated National Parks, plus National Monuments, National Historic Sites, National Seashores, National Recreation Areas, National Battlefields, and more (470+ in total). Coverage spans every U.S. state plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

📋 What the NPS Parks Scraper does
Five datasets in a single Actor:
- 🏞️ Parks. Every NPS unit with full metadata, hours, fees, activities, and images.
- ⚠️ Alerts. Active park alerts, closures, and advisories.
- 🏕️ Campgrounds. NPS-operated campgrounds with reservation info, amenities, and accessibility.
- 🎫 Events. Ranger talks, junior ranger programs, special exhibits, and seasonal events.
- 💲 Fees & passes. Entrance fees, vehicle permits, annual passes, and free-day calendars.
Each park record carries identifiers (ID, park code, designation), location (states, latitude, longitude), descriptive text (description, weather, directions), contacts (phone, email), monetary info (entrance fees, passes), operating hours (per unit with standard hours and exceptions), classification (activities, topics), addresses (physical and mailing), and a gallery of titled images.
💡 Why it matters: NPS data is the backbone of every U.S. travel and outdoor recreation app. Pulling it yourself means handling per-endpoint pagination and joining sparse sub-resources. This Actor returns a clean per-park row with every sub-resource flattened into ready-to-use arrays.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: activities, addresses, description, designation, directionsInfo, directionsUrl, email, entranceFees, entrancePasses, id, images, latitude, longitude, name, operatingHours, parkCode, phone, scrapedAt, states, topics, url, weatherInfo. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
