For the past couple months I've been helping Bradley out with this. We'd both had problems with popular campgrounds being fully booked months in advance. Taking inspiration from Hopper, we built an app to watch the dates you want to camp, and notify you if a campsite becomes available.
We're adding more campgrounds soon. If you have any feedback about the app, or any suggestions on campgrounds to add next please let us know!

@kftaylor How do you get data to notify camps are available? From most, you have to call the day of. I 'm going to download this now, San Clemente state beach has a 6 month waiting list so please add it :)

@hunterhart definitely feel your pain! Our experience has been the same - any halfway popular campground is sold out months in advance. We're adding more campgrounds real soon so we'll definitely look into the San Clemente campgrounds. Thanks for the feedback!

@hunterhart we just released a new update with more campgrounds. Still no San Clemente SP but there might be others you're interested in!

Love the concept. Wish there were android or web apps so I could try.

Can't wait to see this built out. I've been trying to book Parsons Landing on Catalina but due to only having 8 campsites you can imagine how fast this place gets booked up. This would be extremely helpful!

Great app, excited for you to support more parks. Would prefer not have to check Zion's website every day for Virgin Narrows campsite availability :)
