How it works

Three steps between you and the campfire

No spreadsheets, no manual refreshing, no setting alarms for midnight. Set it once and let the radar run.

Describe your trip

Choose a source (state parks, Recreation.gov, DNR), pick the park and campground, then set your arrival date, nights, and party size. Flexible? Add ± days and a night range.

  • Pick from a curated catalog of real parks
  • Arrival date + min/max nights
  • Party size and equipment fit
  • Optional flex window of up to ±14 days
02

The radar takes over

Your watch joins the engine. CampWatch polls the booking system about once a minute, normalizing each source so it can compare live inventory against exactly what you asked for.

  • ~60-second re-check cadence
  • Matches dates, nights, party & rig
  • Dedupes so you’re not spammed
  • Runs 24/7 until you pause it
03

You get the alert

The instant a real match appears, a push notification hits your phone — in the CampWatch app or on Telegram — with the park, site, dates and a one-tap link to the booking page. From notification to reserved is just seconds.

  • Instant app push or Telegram
  • Deep link straight to checkout
  • Clear site & date summary
  • Book before anyone else notices
