Providers#

camply works with a number of providers. A "provider" is an Online Booking Service that lists camping and recreation inventory.

Info

Rather than specifiying provider with the --provider option on the command line you can also set the CAMPLY_PROVIDER environnment variable.

Recreation.gov#

Recreation.gov is (so far) the largest and most widely supported provider. This provider spans over thousands of campgrounds across the USA including most of our National parks.

You can find the best documentation for searching for campsites over at the main documentation page: Command Line Usage

camply campgrounds --provider RecreationDotGov --state CA --search "Fire Towers"

Yellowstone#

Yellowstone is one of the few National Parks that uses a Campsite Booking provider other than Recreation.gov. A number of the campgrounds in Yellowstone can be booked through YellowstoneNationalParkLodges.com. Read more about using camply to search this provider on the documentation.

camply --provider Yellowstone campgrounds

The Yellowstone Provider currently supports the following Campgrounds:

  • Bridge Bay Campground (YLYB:RV)
  • Canyon Campground (YLYC:RV)
  • Fishing Bridge RV Park (YLYF:RV)
  • Grant Campground (YLYG:RV)
  • Madison Campground (YLYM:RV)

GoingToCamp#

GoingToCamp provides campground listing and booking services for several US state and Canadian provincial parks.

To get a listing of GoingToCamp recreation areas, and their IDs, run the following command:

camply --provider goingtocamp recreation-areas

Unlike other camply providers, when using GoingToCamp you must restrict campground and campsites searches to a single recreation area. Since recreation areas may list every campground in a state or provincial park system, it feels natural to filter searches by recreation area when using GoingToCamp.

Currently, the following recreation areas are supported:

Check out the following documentation examples for more details on searching GoingToCamp recreation areas:
