About Recreation.org
Recreation.org is a small, independent guide that helps people find the right official page for campsites, permits and passes on US public lands, and the tools that make booking easier.
We are not Recreation.gov
Recreation.gov is the US government's official booking site for federal recreation. We are not part of it and not connected to any government agency. We can't make, change or cancel reservations, issue permits, or look up bookings. For any of that, please go to Recreation.gov ↗.
How listings are chosen
We list official sites and well-known tools that help campers. Nobody pays to be listed. Some links to third-party services may earn us a small commission in future at no extra cost to you; official government links never do.
Acquiring Recreation.org
Recreation.org has been online since 1997. If your organisation is interested in acquiring the website, email info@recreation.org.
Tell us where and when. A planner gets back to you within 24 hours with a day-by-day plan, the exact booking dates and links, and help booking. From $49.
Get booking windows and permit dates by email
