Group Campsites

Group sites are booked further ahead than anything else — reunions, scout troops and weddings plan a year out — and there is rarely more than one or two per campground. A cancellation on a group site frees up a whole weekend for a whole party, which is why they do not sit unclaimed for long.

We track live availability at 1,490 campgrounds with group campsites across 33 states and 6 Canadian provinces and territories, on Recreation.gov, the state park reservation systems and Canada's national, provincial and territorial park systems we read. Watch one and we recheck it around the clock, as often as every 15 seconds, so when a booked site frees up you hear about it in seconds rather than finding out weeks later that it was open for an hour.
