'Camp Claim' Automatically Helps You Book Your Next OP Campsite

An interesting new website has popped up called Camp Claim that helps you to both find available campsites and assist you in making a reservation. It watches Ontario Parks for campsite cancellations and openings 24/7. The moment a site opens up, you get alerted or it lands in your cart automatically.

“I've seen a few projects and sites that help with reservation challenges and decided to put my skills to work. When I'm not staring at screens, I'm likely cooking something far too slow, and far too low on a campfire, in a campground.

I wanted to do something unique and creative, and part of that was creating a vectorized preview of any campsite in the Ontario parks system.”

One interesting feature is a 3D rendering of each campsite at a park that includes ground, shade, privacy, shelter, and amenities.

There are three tiers that range from the free account (1 campground to monitor, 1 specific site to watch, e-mail alerts) to the Pro Auto-Book account for $89 a season (Unlimited campgrounds, 10 sites per campground, Email + SMS alerts, Browser extension auto-booking andSplit-stay finder).

The Auto-booking uses a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. When CampClaim detects an available site, the extension automatically adds it to your Ontario Parks cart using your existing login session. The site is held for 15 minutes while you complete payment.

Give it a try today, and let me know what you think.
