CAMPNAB REVIEWS

“Easy Pickins'”

Hi, Eric. I still can't believe I was able to score 3 sites at Yosemite Upper Pines after starting your service on the recreation.gov Jan 15 release day!

For some strange reason, a lot of campsites that were reserved at 7AM earlier that day were cancelled between 1-2PM PST. Anyway, I was in a good position to snag them because I was already logged into the site, and had Upper Pines up on the screen - so when I got the alerts, I just refreshed the screen, found the "available" sites and booked them - easy pickins'.

“You saved my family's vacation!!”

I am not being hyperbolic at all!

I was finally able to gather time and resources to take my family on an adventure to include visiting the beach and even camping as well. The problem was that even at 2 months in advance we could not find any reservations for any campsite within a 2-hour drive of the original location we desired.

We did find some scalper selling their camping reservations for hundreds more than they originally cost but as I researched I found CampNab. I decided to try it out and lo and behold just 3 weeks later I got a text message that a reservation was canceled and I had a shot. It was a perfect campground that allowed us to piece together an amazing vacation for the family. Without Campnab we would have had to completely change our plans or pay hundreds of dollars to keep our original plan. Campnab is a freaking GENIUS idea and I will absolutely use you again in the future and recommend you to anyone who could use your services.

Thank you so much!!!

“To my surprise and delight, I was able to book it!”

I wanted to take a minute to brag on Campnab and give your developers some much-deserved kudos. I just finished an amazing five-day trip to Yosemite National Park that literally took months of planning. Back in March, I was one of the thousands of people who frantically waited for the summer batch of campsite reservations to open on Recreation.gov at 8:00am. I even had three other family members helping me remotely just to better my chances of booking a site. To my dismay, I was only able to snag ONE night for the trip.

Once I recovered from the whirlwind that just occurred, I wondered what alternative options might be out there and quickly typed “campsite availability tracker” in my web browser. That’s when I came across Campnab’s website. This was exactly the type of service I was looking for. I immediately signed up for the $20 option and crossed my fingers. Over the course of the next three months, I received several text messages alerting me when a campsite opened up at one of the locations Campnab was monitoring. Most of the time the sites got rebooked before I could even get to the reservation page (yes, Yosemite is THAT competitive!); however, after a number of determined attempts, I finally succeeded in snagging two more nights at the Upper Pines campground!

TWO DAYS before I left for my trip, I received one final notification that a site at Lower Pines opened up. To my surprise and delight, I was able to book it! I couldn’t believe it. Three months ago I was booking a reservation an RV park outside of Yosemite for the majority of my trip. By the time I left last week, all four nights were booked at campsites inside Yosemite Valley. There is absolutely no way I could have done this without the help of Campnab. Thank you for helping create an unforgettable experience at one of the world’s most beautiful national parks! Keep up the great work.

“Campnab helps campers by offering up the barrage of cancelled site reservations”

One thing I didn’t notice in the testimonials was anyone commenting on how good this webbapp is for the parks themselves (aside from that bit in your your FAQ). Campnab helps campers by offering up the barrage of cancelled site reservations other visitors leave on the table, but at the same time offers up extra opportunities for parks to gain back revenue that could be missed.

For instance, a few days worth of alerts arrived before I gave in and booked a site. The next day, the golden goose of parks showed up in my inbox and I immediately cancelled the previous reservation in favour of this better site in a nicer park. The penalty was then collected by the Ontario Parks – in addition to the new reservation. This never would have happened had I not been notified after making the first reservation, neglecting to pause my alerts once a successful reservation had been made.

In a nutshell, anyone who speaks ill of this product doesn’t understand just how good it is for all parties involved. I commend you for creating such a robust, helpful app in this saturated market ;)

Just hoping parks don’t start blacklisting your IPs due to over-requesting and this thing live on forever!

Anyways, thanks guys :)
