Hey Product Hunt šŸ‘‹ We built AlertCamp after losing one too many Sandbanks Park reservations to "Sold Out" on the morning bookings opened. The official Notify Me emails from each park system are slow and spammy — by the time we open the email, the site is already re-booked. So we built what we wished existed: šŸ•ļø Native iOS + Android app (the only one in this space — competitors are web-only) ⚔ Push notifications on every plan, even free šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦ Ontario Parks, Parks Canada, BC Parks — 234 parks across Canada šŸ”„ Detection from 1 to 15 minutes depending on plan šŸŽÆ One-tap pre-filled reservation link in every alert šŸ’° Free plan with NO notification cap (Campnab has no free option; Schnerp expires after 10 lifetime notifications) A few things that make it different beyond price: • Native push works even when the app is closed (Schnerp's push is web-only) • Hot Spot Watch alert — surfaces every cancellation on the most popular sites, across all parks or one specific park • Split stay — combines multiple sites in one alert when no single one covers your full trip • 17 languages, French-first — both competitors are English-only Roadmap: SEPAQ (Quebec) is in review with the organization, and other Canadian provinces are coming over the year. We're also planning to build in the open — the website will publish what's coming next, and we'll prioritize what the community wants most (when it's technically and legally possible, of course). First up: a map-based site picker, like the one on the official reservation sites. Would love your feedback — especially on the free plan. We deliberately didn't cap notifications because access to public parks shouldn't depend on wallet size. If you've ever lost a campsite to "Sold Out", what's your story? - Eric (founder, Canada šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦)
