The Dyrt, named the No. 1 app for camping availability, photos and reviews, has released its 2024 Camping Reservation Opening Dates Guide, which helps campers know exactly when reservations open at every state and national park in the United States. The Dyrt is offering this resource to all campers for free.
“The increasing popularity of camping has turned the reservations process into a competitive race, and you need impeccable planning to clinch your ideal spot, especially during holidays and local events,” says Kevin Long, CEO of The Dyrt. “Every state and national park has its own time frame for opening up reservations. We decided to share our roundup of these dates with all campers to help them book their ideal camping experiences this year.”
The guide breaks down public campgrounds by state and category so you can plan your 2024 — and in some cases 2025 — camping trips. Reservations open anywhere from 30 days to 13 months in advance at state and national parks throughout the country. Campers can browse the guide by park, state or reservation window.
For campers who don’t snag their dream camping spot the day it becomes available, The Dyrt Alerts are included as part of a membership to The Dyrt PRO. The Dyrt constantly scans for cancellations and sends campers a text message the moment a site they want to book opens up. The Dyrt, the most downloaded camping app in 2023, also offers advanced maps and camping discounts to its PRO members.
“In the face of soaring demand for campsites, we’re determined to ensure campers have the information they need to secure the sites where they want to stay,” says The Dyrt founder Sarah Smith. “Compiling this information was a major undertaking, but after the success of the guide for PRO members last year, it was clear we had to make this information free to all campers as part of our commitment to making the great outdoors more accessible to everyone.”
