Our story

We got tired of losing the weekend

CampWatch began with a string of “SOLD OUT” banners and a stubborn belief that the perfect site was still out there — just waiting for someone to cancel.

Why we built it

A cancelled reservation should be a second chance

Anyone who camps in Washington knows the drill: the calendar opens, the good sites vanish in minutes, and you’re left refreshing the page at midnight hoping someone bails. The openings do come — plans change constantly — but they reappear at random and disappear just as fast.

We thought a computer should be doing that watching, not a human with a browser tab and a caffeine problem. So we built a radar: a tireless engine that monitors the booking systems every minute and pings your phone the instant a real opening appears.

No scalping, no hoarding, no fees on your campsite. Just the alert you needed, at the moment it mattered — so you can spend less time refreshing and more time outside.

What we believe

The principles behind the radar

Speed is the product

A cancellation alert that arrives five minutes late is worthless. Everything we build is measured against the seconds it saves you.

Less noise, more nature

We’d rather send one alert you act on than ten you ignore. Relevance over volume, always.

Respectful by design

We read public availability and link you to official booking pages. No scalping, no hoarding, no fees on your campsite.

Built for the PNW

We started where we camp. Deep local coverage first, thoughtful expansion second.

Come watch the stars with us

Let the radar handle the refreshing. You handle the s’mores.
