I’m one of the two people working on Campnab. I like to run, ski, bike, and camp with my family and friends. (I love saunas.)

Find me:

I spoke with one of our members (Ramona from Skychick Adventures) this afternoon, and she offered up a handy tip. She figured others here would find it helpful, so I’m relaying it to you.

Ramona set a custom ring tone for all text messages from Campnab. This helps her differentiate new campsite availability alerts from other messages. It also prompts her to move quickly so she can book that spot. Nice one!

BTW: Here’s how you can assign a custom text alert tone to a specific contact on iOS devices—and here’s how to do so on Android devices.
