A campsite-availability monitoring service that watches campground booking systems and alerts you when a matching site opens.

Why it surfaced

Park Patrols lets campers specify exact dates, weekends, sites, or loops, then monitors more than 4,000 campgrounds across 48 states and federal parks. Its paid plans add a one-tap booking link, while the higher tier promises to place an opening in your Recreation.gov cart for you—without purchasing it.
