Is El Vado Lake sold out? Don’t sweat it! You could still reserve a campsite there. Many campers cancel reservations. When they do, parks re-release these campsites. Campnab scans parks for cancelations. Our app alerts you when campsites come available.

Plans start at $10/month • Unlimited alerts • Cancel anytime!
People book campsites at popular parks months in advance. Sometimes their plans change and they cancel their reservations—leaving a campsite unused. Campnab monitors campgrounds for canceled reservations, and notifies you with a camp alert when a campsite opens up.
Go to the top of this page and search for the park you want to camp at. Then choose your preferred campground, arrival date, number of nights, and how you’d like to pay. Once you have, your first campsite scan will start running. 🙌
Now’s the tough part… waiting. You never know when someone will cancel their campsite reservation. However, the longer you scan for, the better your odds. Not getting the results you want? Check out some of these tips for improving your chances.
If a suitable campsite opens up, we’ll send you a text message. If you receive one, act fast. Canceled reservations are often rebooked in minutes or seconds. So, go to your park’s website and if the spot is still available, reserve it! 💯
