You know where you want to go. We'll help you plan the hard part.
We developed this app from our own experience painfully planning full camping seasons with busy schedules. To get the best sites, you have to plan months in advance. For years we used a giant wall calendar with our available windows marked and two handfuls of sticky notes, one for each campground we were interested in that year. I'd have 15 browser windows open to see the annual weather trends for each campground and jostle the sticky notes around to try to slot the trips into the best weeks.
We knew there had to be a better way.
That's why we built CampSzn. Tell it your camping windows and the campgrounds you want to visit. For the town nearest to each campground, it checks the last five years of daily highs and lows against the comfort range that you define. Let it Smart Schedule each trip into your available windows when that place usually has the best weather, or slot and lock trips yourself armed with that data.
How CampSzn works
-
Add campgrounds and mark your available windows
Save campgrounds whenever you find them. Search Recreation.gov by name or near a place, paste a share link from Google Maps, or drop a pin manually on the map. Keep notes on each campground and the sites you'd try or avoid next time, plus rank them to help you pick a backup plan quickly if your first choice is sold out. Use our calendar view to mark your available camping windows in whatever granularity fits best: somewhere in a month, somewhere in a specific week, or a specific range of days.
-
Compare typical conditions
Tag your candidates campgrounds for next season and CampSzn automatically averages each one's daily highs and lows over the last five years, then checks them against your comfort range. Candidates are then ranked as "Good", "Okay", or "Poor" for each of your available camping windows. Quickly see which campgrounds would be most comfortable for each of your camping windows in whatever way makes most sense to you: in a table, charts, or graphs.
-
Slot trips into the best weeks
Smart Schedule can do the work of slotting from your candidate campgrounds into your marked windows where the conditions are best. If you like, you can do this by hand and we'll highlight each campground's best weather window for you while you do. Or use a combination of both like we do: slot some non-negotiables by hand, lock them, and let Smart Schedule figure out the rest.
You keep booking, paying, and managing on your own terms. We're big on privacy over here and we don't want to be yet another app that has access to your whole world. We'll help you zoom out and plan your whole season so everyone stays comfortable, you book and manage the trips.
Free to add and rank campgrounds. Paid to plan.
Building your list of campgrounds and saving, tagging, and ranking camp sites is always free. When you're ready to plan your season, a single annual subscription unlocks the rest of the tools that help you slot trips into the best weeks.

We know camp season planning is an annual effort, so we've designed CampSzn with one yearly price. Cancel and restart any time without losing your data.
CampSzn is in private beta
We're testing with a small group of campers before opening public sign-ups. If you'd like to try it, email us and tell us a little about how you camp. Beta testers get the paid tools free for the whole year.
We have plans to release a mobile app, but today CampSzn is built for planning on a computer and runs in a desktop web browser.
