The short version
Terms of Service
CampingSorted tells you when a campsite you’re watching frees up. We send best-effort alerts — we don’t guarantee a site will still be open, and we never book on your behalf. You complete every booking yourself, on the park system. We’re an independent service, not affiliated with any park agency or reservation system. The rest is the detail.
1. What CampingSorted does
CampingSorted (operated by CampingSorted LLC, Washington, USA, “we”) watches publicly available campsite-availability information for the parks, sites, and dates you ask us to, and notifies you by email, text (SMS), and/or push when a match opens up. That is the whole service: we provide information and links. We do not make reservations, hold sites, pay for bookings, or take any action in a park system on your behalf.
2. We are not affiliated with the parks
CampingSorted is an independent third party. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by BC Parks, Parks Canada, the CAMIS / GoingToCamp reservation systems, any U.S. state or federal park agency, or any other park or booking system. All park and system names are used only to describe what we watch.
3. Alerts are best-effort
Availability changes by the second. We work hard to catch openings quickly, but we do not guarantee that an alerted site is still available when you receive the alert, that you will be able to book it, that we will catch every opening, or that alerts will always be timely or delivered. Notifications are provided “as is” and on a best-effort basis.
4. Your responsibilities
- You complete your own bookings on the relevant park system, and you are responsible for the reservation, payment, and any cancellation.
- You are responsible for complying with each park system’s own terms of use when you book and use your reservation.
- You give us accurate contact details and only sign up your own email and phone number — not someone else’s.
- You won’t resell, scrape, overload, or abuse the service, or use it to break any law or any park system’s rules.
5. Text (SMS) message terms
If you opt in to text alerts, you agree to receive automated SMS messages from CampingSorted at the mobile number you provide (U.S. and Canada only).
- Message frequency varies — you receive a text when a site you’re watching opens, plus occasional service messages.
- Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile plan and carrier.
- Reply STOP at any time to unsubscribe, or HELP for help. You can also turn off texts or delete your data by emailing [email protected].
- Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
- How we handle your number is described in our Privacy Policy. We never share your number or your texting consent with third parties for marketing.
6. Plans, pricing, and payment
CampingSorted offers a free tier — Park Watch, which watches up to three parks and sends push and email alerts at no charge — alongside the Roam Region Pass, a one-time pass that watches every park within range of a location for a full year from your purchase date, with no auto-renewal. The price of any paid option is shown clearly at checkout before you pay ($39 USD or $49 CAD depending on your country); applicable taxes may be added. We don’t use surprise charges or dark patterns.
Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see or store your full card number (see our Privacy Policy). You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) to make a purchase.
Refunds. A paid watch begins monitoring immediately, so purchases are generally non-refundable. But if you’re not satisfied — or if something on our end meant your watch didn’t run as promised — email [email protected] and we’ll make it right, including a full refund where we got it wrong. This is in addition to any non-waivable refund or cancellation rights your local consumer-protection law gives you.
We may change, add, or discontinue features or plans — including in response to changes in a park system’s policies or technology — at any time. If we change the price of a paid option, the new price applies only to purchases you make after the change.
7. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind to the fullest extent permitted by law. We are not responsible for sites you miss, bookings you don’t get, money you spend, or any indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from the use of (or inability to use) CampingSorted. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the past 12 months or CAD $50. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under mandatory consumer-protection law that cannot be waived — including for Canadian consumers.
8. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. For U.S. users, disputes will be resolved by binding individual arbitration and not in a class action, to the extent permitted by law. If you are a consumer in Canada (or elsewhere) whose local law gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts or bars mandatory arbitration and class-action waivers, those rights are not affected — the arbitration and class-waiver terms above do not apply to you where they are unenforceable.
