Campground API

Introduction

Directory: ReserveAmerica.com

For Use By: Third-party developers can use the API to build applications to promote and distribute campgrounds from the ReserveAmerica.com database.

The Campground APIs, backed by Reserve America's database, provide access to campground data for 97% of the US and Canada's national and state/provincial parks.  With it, developers can search for campgrounds that meet specified criteria. For example, they can search for campgrounds with horse sites in the state of California, or campgrounds in Maine that allow pets.

This API features two concepts, campground and campsite.  Campgrounds are generally situated inside state or national parks and consist of one or more campsites.

All campsite reservations, however, must be processed online at ReserveAmerica.com.  The Campground APIs are read-only and provides registration links for campgrounds on ReserveAmerica.com.

    Are there any plans to add search by lat / lng and distance range like Yelp does for example?

  4. Paul G – 12 years ago

    My bad, just found it: "These two parameters allow for campground searches around a fixed geo-point".

    There is no range parameter though, but it is okay.

    When will the affiliate program be extended to the campground api? I found some details at ReserveAmerica, but it mentioned it was coming out in the summer. Does it mean this summer?

    Hello Ryo,

    That is an outdated page. I've notified the team to update it. Currently, you can find all details about the affiliate program here: http://developer.active.com/affiliates.

    Check the forum for updates in the future.

    Best regards,

    Does the rate limit go by ip address or api key? Thinking of a mobile app.

    Hi captn sparrow,

    Rate limits apply to API keys, not IP address.

    I am creating a new app & website that might exceed the 5000 daily quota. If I find this to be the case, is there a way that I can get the quota increased? Also are the quotas for the search, details and sites separate or since you use the same API key for all they all share the same quota?

    So, is there no way to get this data now?

    Seems like your campground details is not working with my key, plugged my key into the sample and it did not work

  15. astarnes – 8 years ago

    These is not a way to get available dates for campgrounds.

    Is this API still active?

  17. Camp California – 4 years ago

    When searching for parks in California, it appears only PRIVATE parks are showing. The STATE and FEDERAL parks are missing. How can this be fixed?

  18. rkwalter – 4 years ago

    Does anyone monitor this board????
