Your favorite campsite just had a cancellation.
Get an alert when a campsite opens up at your campground on Recreation.gov.
Two free scans, forever. No credit card required.
Set alerts for campgrounds at Yosemite · Yellowstone · Zion · Glacier · Grand Canyon · Joshua Tree · Acadia · Olympic · Rocky Mountain and more on Recreation.gov
Every camper knows the feeling. You check Recreation.gov for your dream campground and every single date shows "Not Available." You try different weekends. You check back daily. And when a cancellation finally pops up, someone else grabs it in minutes.
Beacon watches the calendar for you and emails you when a site opens up.
On the Roadmap
Here's what we're building next.
AI Cancellation Predictions
Know when sites are likely to open before they do. Not enough history yet: predictions will appear as more scans run and availability is tracked.
State Park Coverage
ReserveCalifornia, GoingToCamp and more. The goal is one dashboard for federal and state systems alike. Not yet: state parks are not covered today.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which parks do you support?+
We support campgrounds on Recreation.gov — every national park that takes campsite reservations there, plus national forests and many other federal recreation areas. State parks are not covered today.
Is the free tier really free?+
Yes — 2 active scans with email notifications, forever. No credit card required. No trial that expires. We believe everyone should have access to campsite alerts.
How is this different from Campnab?+
Beacon offers a free tier (Campnab doesn't), lower monthly prices, and an availability calendar that shows you open dates before you set an alert. Campnab's annual discount is larger than ours and they cover state parks today — where they're the better choice, we say so. We're also building AI-powered cancellation predictions to help you get ahead of the rush.
Do you book the site for me?+
We send you an alert with a direct link to the booking page — one click and you're on Recreation.gov ready to book. We don't book for you and we can't hold a site: availability changes, and other campers may book it before you do.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Absolutely. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Downgrade or cancel from your account page at any time. Your free scans keep working even after you cancel a paid plan.
Stop refreshing. Start camping.
That cancellation will be rebooked in minutes. Set up an alert and be the one who gets it.
