# Wandering Labs :: Reserve

> Wandering Labs (wanderinglabs.com) is a campsite availability and cancellation
> notification service. Tell it where you want to camp and a date range, and it
> monitors the reservation website every few minutes — when a site that matches
> your criteria opens up (usually from a cancellation), you get an alert so you
> can book a campground that was otherwise sold out.

## How it works

- Create an availability request: pick a campground, a date range, and the number of consecutive nights you need.
- Wandering Labs continuously checks the reservation system for matching openings.
- When a match is found you receive a notification with a link to book.
- Free accounts receive email alerts. Premium members also receive text (SMS) alerts for faster booking on high-demand sites.

## Reservation systems covered

Wandering Labs tracks availability across major North American camping reservation platforms, including Recreation.gov (national parks, national forests, BLM, Army Corps), ReserveAmerica, Reserve California (UseDirect), Camas (Washington State Parks), and a growing number of state park systems on UseDirect, Brandt, and Itinio.

## Who it's for

Campers trying to get a reservation at a popular or fully-booked campground — national parks, state parks, and other high-demand sites where cancellations are the only way to get a spot.
