WE PROVIDE CAMPSITE AVAILABILITY ALERTS

HOW CAMPNAB WORKS

People book campsites at popular parks months in advance. Sometimes their plans change and they cancel their reservations—leaving a campsite unused. Campnab monitors campgrounds for canceled reservations, and notifies you with a camp alert when a campsite opens up.

{"Create

Create a scan

Go to the top of this page and search for the park you want to camp at. Then choose your preferred campground, arrival date, number of nights, and how you’d like to pay. Once you have, your first campsite scan will start running. 🙌

{"Wait

Wait for an alert

Now’s the tough part… waiting. You never know when someone will cancel their campsite reservation. However, the longer you scan for, the better your odds. Not getting the results you want? Check out some of these tips for improving your chances.

{"Reserve

Reserve that spot!

If a suitable campsite opens up, we’ll send you a text message. If you receive one, act fast. Canceled reservations are often rebooked in minutes or seconds. So, go to your park’s website and if the spot is still available, reserve it! 💯

ANSWERS ABOUT CAMPNAB

WHAT IS A CAMPSITE ALERT?

A campsite alert is a text message that lets you know that a spot at a sold-out campsite is available.

HOW DOES CAMPNAB WORK?

You set your criteria (park, campground, arrival, duration). We send you a text message if a suitable campsite becomes available.

DOES CAMPNAB BOOK A CAMPSITE FOR ME?

No. We only provide notifications of openings at campsites. You still need to book through the respective park’s website.

HOW MUCH DOES CAMPNAB COST?

Pay-per-use scans range from $10 – $20 each. Memberships start at $10/month, and afford frequent campers more options.

DO YOU GUARANTEE SUCCESS?

Nope. We don’t know who will cancel their reservation or when. Our fees are to monitor campgrounds.

WHAT REGIONS DO YOU MONITOR?

Campnab scans parks throughout Canada and the United States. Visit our Parks page for a list of parks we monitor.

CAN I CANCEL MY CAMPNAB MEMBERSHIP?

Yes—you can cancel/change your plan at any time by visiting the Plan screen. To cancel, click “Cancel your plan”.

I RECEIVED AN ALERT BUT THE SPOT IS GONE. WHAT GIVES?
