Don't know where to go? Try Ranger.
Whether you're exploring Yellowstone, Shenandoah, or your local state park, Ranger helps you find campsites, trails, activities, weather windows, safety alerts, and the best places to eat after the hike.
Plan my trip builds the whole adventure around a base camp. Just find a campsite gets you a bookable site fast. Same search, your choice.
From trailhead to table
Ranger replaces the half-dozen tabs you would normally juggle. One AI planner does the work of a trail guide, a campground finder, a trip organizer, a restaurant app, and a live weather and safety tracker.
Under the hood
Live data from Recreation.gov, OpenStreetMap, and the National Park Service.
The magic moment
Point Ranger at a booked campground and your dates. It watches Recreation.gov around the clock and texts you the second a cancellation frees a site, so you book it before anyone else refreshes the page.
Every plan also ships with a Trip Safety Score: live fire, river, weather, and NPS alerts in one number. See a sample →
