- 2025 – 2026
Popular campgrounds sell out months ahead. Cancellations appear and disappear within minutes, and refreshing booking sites by hand rarely works.
What I built
- A scanner that checks high-demand parks as often as every 15 seconds.
- Alerts that link straight to the open dates on recreation.gov.
- Matching rules so people only hear about sites and dates they want.
- Five versions over seven months, from a scraping test to a full app. A 2026 rebuild is under way.
