Set it up once. We watch around the clock.

Tell zenCamp the site and dates you want. It checks around the clock, and when a match opens it holds the site in your cart while you decide.

Tell us exactly what you want

Pick a campground, then narrow it down: site type, rig length, hookups, loop, shade, waterfront. Or skip the filters and name the exact sites you're after. zenCamp shows how many sites match as you go.

The site lands in your cart

When a matching site opens, zenCamp adds it to your reservation cart and alerts you by email, Telegram or web push (SMS coming soon). The hold gives you about 30 minutes to look it over and complete the booking yourself — no racing anyone to the checkout.

Every weekend, in one step

Chasing any Friday this fall? Set up one scan, then repeat it weekly across a date range. zenCamp creates the whole series for you, each with the same filters.

Every scan in one place

See every scan you're running, when it last checked, and how many checks it has made. Filter by campground, status or reservation system, and pause, edit or remove scans in bulk.

Did you book it?

After you open a booking link, zenCamp asks how it went. Say yes and the trip goes into your trip library. Not the right site? Say why, and rule it out so it doesn't come up again.

Rule out the sites you don't want

Found out a site backs onto the restrooms? Exclude it, with a note to yourself, and zenCamp stops alerting you to it across every scan at that campground. Changed your mind? One click puts it back.
