Plan Federal Recreation Trips

Recreation.gov helps users find and reserve outdoor activities on U.S. federal lands. It suits campers, hikers, families, and travelers planning visits to national parks, forests, and other recreation areas. The app brings campground reservations, permits, tours, and activity information into one mobile service.

Search Campgrounds and Activities

Users can browse recreation sites and narrow results using practical details such as location, site type, amenities, and availability. Map and list views make it easier to compare destinations and understand where facilities are located. Live availability helps users choose an open site or activity while planning a trip.

Keep Reservations and Permits Handy

Tickets, permits, and booking details can be accessed from the app instead of relying only on printed documents. At participating locations, QR-based payment options support walk-in camping and other on-site transactions. This makes Recreation.gov useful both before departure and when reaching a recreation area.
