Want to get alerts when folks cancel their river permits? In this article we tell you which permits we monitor, how to set up your scan, and we also provide some tips to put the odds in your favor:

Most people don’t know about this trick for booking popular campsites, but it’s helped me book some amazing campsites. (It even works on launch day.) Here’s the scoop:

Just a quick note to let you know that you can now use Campnab to scan state parks in Vermont. Yup! If the state park you wish to camp at is sold out, you can create a scan and we’ll let you know when there’s an opening that matches your needs.

For a full list of the Vermont parks that our campsite cancelation app can alert you to, check out our informational page about camping in Vermont (https://campnab.com/parks/vermont).

A conversation my 15-year-old son and I recently had at a campground:

15yo: “Dad! Our campsite has USB!”

Me: “I don’t think so.”

15yo: “No. I saw it.”

Me: “I really don’t think so.”

15yo: “I SAW IT!”

Me: “Where?”

[15yo walks me to the shore power and lifts the lid.]

Me: “Son, that’s an electrical outlet.”

FWIW, my son said it was OK for me to share this story.

Over the past week, I (Eric K.) booked campsites at Pacific Rim National Park and Rathtrevor Provincial Park—both through Campnab alerts.

Neither of these worked out on the first try, or even the second, because others beat me to those openings. I kept at it, though, and eventually reserved the campsites I wanted.

If you’ve ever clicked through to find the campsite you were alerted to was already booked, someone probably beat you to it. However, it could be that you just need to tweak your settings.

I wrote this post to help explain what could be happening when the campsite you were alerted to seems to be gone:

Have you ever received an alert, clicked to book the spot, and it was already gone? You aren’t alone. If you use a campsite scanner like Campnab, y...

Just a friendly reminder to keep food items (and anything with a fragrance) in a bear locker, when in the backcountry. Doing so could save a bear’s life—and yours too!

Last month, we had a little giveaway. All you had to do was post a review of a park you’d visited. Everyone who wrote a review got entered into a draw for a year-long Campnab membership. Congratulations to the Ariel Solomon who posted reviews for Silver Springs State Park and John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and won the April giveaway! Ariel and her partner Angie already used Campnab with success, so, they seemed pretty happy about the win! Our winners are full-time travelers (alongside their dog and cat Willow and Bowie). So, if you’d like to see all the great places they’ve been, you can find and follow them on Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook. Thanks for your reviews, Angie and Ariel! We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing where you travel next. 🙂 P.S., You can follow Ariel, Angie, Bowie, and Willow on Facebook, at @roadleztraveled

Instead of another post about campsite alerts, here’s a video I took last week, of a bear cub eating apples. (It makes me happy.)

Not every Campnab alert works out. In fact, with some super-popular parks it can take a little effort before you get the spot you’re after. Valentina felt like that when she first tried Campnab. She stuck with it, though, and has found a number of available campsites as a result. We’re grateful to Valentina for giving Campnab a try—and for sharing her positive experience in this short video. 🙂 Thank you, Valentina! #campnab #camping #campsitereservations #parks #traveltips #nationalpark #usnationalparks #campground #protip #rvtravel #campingapps #campsitealerts #outdoors

Yosemite is a tough park to get into—in fact, it’s the most competitive national park we’re aware of. That’s why we were so happy to hear how Jaclyn and Jesse used Campnab to find a spot at Yosemite for their engagement photos! Thanks for sharing your story Jaclyn, and congratulations to both of you! 🍾 💒 🎉 #campnab #camping #campsitereservations #parks #vanlife #traveltips #nationalpark #usnationalparks #campground #protip #rvtravel #campingapps #campsitealerts #outdoors #yosemitenationalpark #yosemitenp #yosemitenps #yosemite_national_park

Campnab Vlog #2: Thoughts on BC Parks’ New Campsite Booking System and Website

This week BC Parks’ new website and booking system went live. As one might expect with such a launch, some are unhappy with this new approach. In this vlog, I’ll talk about why they shouldn’t be dismayed. I’ll also explain why I consider BC Parks’ recent online initiatives promising for campers in British Columbia. (Oh yeah—I’ll also gripe about how Campnab was misrepresented on the news, and the myth of digital scalpers for campsite reservations.) Visit https://beta.bcparks.ca/ to read more about what BC Parks is working on. You can also sign up to participate in design research and usability testing: https://forms2.gov.bc.ca/forms/content?id=845AC163218D4AC582FE7D3523623EA9 or contribute in BC Parks’ code: https://bcgov.github.io/bcparks/
