  • Local restaurants
  • Cancellation alerts

Under the hood

40,000+ campgrounds indexed
50 states covered
4 live safety feeds

Live data from Recreation.gov, OpenStreetMap, and the National Park Service.

The magic moment

Sold out is not the end of the trip.

Point Ranger at a booked campground and your dates. It watches Recreation.gov around the clock and texts you the moment a site opens up for your dates, so you book it before anyone else refreshes the page.

Every plan also ships with a Trip Safety Score: live fire, river, weather, and NPS alerts in one number. See a sample →

Before, during, and after the trip

Everything you need for the perfect trip.

    National and state parks, campgrounds, and trails, each with photos, maps, and the details you need to choose.

  2. Plan

    Personalized recommendations built around your interests, schedule, group, and camping style.

  3. Stay safe

    Live weather, wildfire perimeters, air quality, river levels, and open park alerts, combined into one Trip Safety Score.

  4. Explore local

    Nearby restaurants, breweries, coffee, and museums for after the hike.

Rainy-day mode

When plans change, Ranger adapts.

Rain in the forecast? Ranger moves your big hikes to the clearer days and points you to nearby indoor stops, so a wet morning never cancels the trip.

  • Museums and galleries
  • Historic sites
  • Local dining
  • Coffee shops
  • Shorter trails
  • Rest days

The AI adventure planner

Just tell Ranger what you want.

Describe the trip in your own words. Ranger builds the whole thing: a base camp you can book, trails matched to your group, food nearby, and a live safety read for your dates.

  • A dog-friendly weekend with waterfalls within 3 hours.
  • Two kids under 8, easy trails and a lake.
  • Moderate hikes and a local brewery after.
  • Somewhere with fall colors next month.

Or just search a park and dates in the box up top. Ranger fills in the rest.
