Is this an official government website?
No. This Site is an independent, privately operated information site. It is not affiliated with,
endorsed by, or operated by the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Recreation.gov, Parks Canada,
BC Parks, or any other government agency.
Can I book a campsite here?
No. This site is for looking up and comparing campground information only. To reserve a site, use the
official page linked from each campground (Recreation.gov for U.S. campgrounds, or the Parks Canada / BC
Parks page for Canadian campgrounds).
Where does the campground data come from?
From three official public sources: the Recreation Information Database (RIDB) (the
data behind Recreation.gov, U.S. campgrounds), Parks Canada Open Data (Canadian federal
national parks), and BC Parks Open Data (British Columbia provincial parks). Each
campground page shows when its data was last updated.
Does this site cover Canada?
Yes. In addition to U.S. campgrounds, the site covers Canadian campgrounds from Parks Canada (federal
national parks) and BC Parks (British Columbia provincial parks). You can filter by country on the search
page, and the Route Planner works for routes in either country.
What is the Route Planner?
The Route Planner shows campgrounds spaced out along your actual driving route
between two points, rather than dumping every nearby campground into one long list. You choose how often
to check for a stop (every 25 miles, for example) and how far off-route to search at each stop, and can
filter results by camping method.
Why do some campground photos say “Representative image”?
When a campground has no photo on file with its data source, we show a generic labeled photo instead of
leaving the page empty. It is not a real photo of that specific campground — the label is there so
it’s never mistaken for one.
Do I need to sign up or create an account?
No. Everything on this site is free to browse without an account.
A campground page looks wrong or out of date — what do I do?
Let us know on the Contact page. Also always double-check details on the
official page linked from the campground before finalizing a trip — fees, closures, and availability
can change.
Why do some campgrounds have so little information (no photos, no amenities)?
Some campgrounds — especially primitive, dispersed, or backcountry sites — simply don’t
have much data on file with the managing agency. Missing information means “not entered,” not
necessarily “not available.”
