This website gives you an insight into what the majority of campsites look like before you book. There are usually many pictures for each site at all different angles, Park map and amenities. The filters for size of sight and which campground you’re interested in is in valuable.

Please bring the old format back for cancellations. we have been depending on these as we work weekdays and it is difficult to find a good site on weekends. The new format was difficult to navigate.
Developer Response: Thank you for your feedback. For 2025 there is the basic version of Cancellation Alerts which has some restrictions, but will work for most users and remains a free bonus for BaseCampers. As noted on the Cancellation Alerts page the new BaseCamp Pro add-on option provides all features of what you are calling the old format including viewing all cancellations, for all campgrounds, all sites and all season dates. Additional features are forthcoming as well that will take our ultimate Cancellation Alert features to the next level! Checking your account I see that you haven't setup any cancellation filters to tell BaseCamp what cancellations you are looking for which is why you don't see any cancellations.

I am a charter member of Base Camp. The subscription has saved me countless hours of researching a site I may have been unfamiliar with. Gone are the old days of driving to a campground to check out whether it will fit my rig, if it's level or what kind of fireplace or waterfront it has. I can do so without leaving my home. More pictures per site, per campground than any other website guaranteed. I am able to pick sites at campgrounds I have never been to before with the confidence of knowing what to expect. I have picked up many cancellations using the cancellation alert page. Didn't get your site in the 9 month booking window through RA? No worries. When the site or another one at your favorite campground becomes available, you'll be one of, if not the first to know about it. If you are on the fence, get off it and join. You won't be disappointed.
Developer Response: Thanks for the thorough review Sharon!

I've been able to reserve wonderful spots off Basecamp. The only thing that ticks me off is when another individual only takes part of cancellation and it still shows as a the full cancellation instead of what's left.
Developer Response: Thank you for your feedback. Remember these are cancellation alerts not real time availability. After the alert is created a site can get scooped up at any time, reappear because someone abandoned their cart and often only some dates are taken. Rather than constantly trying to keep up with the aftermath of a cancellation BaseCamp focuses on finding new cancellations to alert members.

We saw a recommendation for this website years ago and now recommend it to others. At first we wanted to see pictures of the sites, and this webpage is amazing for that purpose - in fact that is what I am currently doing. Shortly after we had a membership, we became very dependent on the cancellation notices to find a camping site because there were all booked. For quite at least a couples of years we found incredible waterfront sites that were cancellations. if not for this website, we may have had to skip camping for the season. I love to paddleboard and canoe. The pictures and description of the site give great information on how easy it is to access those from your site. We absolutely recommend this website!

I did not think that I would appreciate the resources enough to warrant the yearly cost, but I was absolutely wrong!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the ability to look at photos of each campsite, comparing them for size, level-ness, proximity to water and resources, etc. That alone would probably be enough to justify spending the membership money, but the cancellation opportunities with filters put it over the top.
We have camped at some of the most beautiful lakeside sites this summer, all thanks to the cancellation notices (and regular checking of the site!) Even without the implementation of a notification system (which may be in the works!) the NY State Campsite Photos cancellation page shows me in nearly-real-time when sites matching my chosen criteria become available - allowing me to check ReserveAmerica, see nearby/neighboring sites, views and make an immediate decision if it meets my timing needs!
Well worth the money, and the personalized support from the site owner has been top-notch. If you're on the fence about joining, take the plunge. It's the cost of one night camping, and you will make that investment back many times over when you think of how much you'll be enjoying a lakeside site next summer. <3

Developer Response:
Thank you for your feedback! We understand how repeated logins can be frustrating. After reviewing your account, it appears that you've used BaseCamp frequently over the past two months and were only required to log in twice. With the 'Remember Me' option enabled, you should only need to log in again after 30 days of inactivity.
If the login issue is happening on Reserve America, which we redirect to for reservations, unfortunately, we have no control over their login settings, and they do require re-login after 20 minutes of inactivity. We hope this helps clarify the situation, but if you’re still having trouble, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

I've been using Basecamp for two years now, and it has truly transformed my camping experience. As someone who is particular about the sites we choose, the photos provided have been an invaluable asset in our reservation booking process. They’ve allowed us to assess site specifics like parking difficulty, ease of access to water on waterfront sites, privacy levels, and even how challenging leveling might be—all before we arrive.
One of my favorite features is the cancellation gem. We love camping at different spots every weekend, and playing the cancellation game has added an exciting twist to our adventures. There have been weeks where we didn’t know where we'd end up on Friday, only to snag a killer site by Wednesday!
Basecamp has made our camping experience more adventurous and spontaneous. Over the last two years, we've discovered some favorite spots, and the "Favorites" feature has made it incredibly easy to keep track of them. Basecamp has truly enhanced our outdoor adventures, and I can't imagine camping without it!

Brand new to camping with a spontaneous travel trailer purchase in May 2023, initially I was extremely overwhelmed trying to find weekend sites, followed by disappointment when it seemed everything was booked months in advance. My idea of camping was weekend trips to explore and enjoy the lakes and mountains around me. In comes BaseCamp! I signed up based on a recommendation and have never looked back. The insights and opportunities have been truly invaluable. The hardwork that Dave puts in as well as the support of the community provide an exceptional experience. I have learned so much, and we have had amazing watersites every single trip. Camping would not be the same without Dave and BaseCamp!

How can you list sites as Labor Day Weekend when the weekend dates are Reserved???!!! Misleading and disappointing to say the least!!! Not one site listed as Labor Day Weekend as a cancellation is available for this weekend!
Developer Response:
Thank you for your feedback! It sounds like there may be some confusion regarding how our system works. The feature you are referencing is a free bonus that provides alerts on cancellations, but it's important to note that these alerts are not in real-time availability updates. If you're checking cancellations that are a few hours old, it's likely those sites have already been rebooked, especially during high-demand weekends like Labor Day.
Be sure to check the timestamp on each cancellation alert, and keep in mind that popular sites get snapped up quickly. Understanding how this feature works and using our cancellation filters can significantly improve your chances of success, as many other users have found. If you need any assistance with these tools, we’d be happy to help!

We camp a lot during camping season and I have to say, this site have helped us a lot. We have a trailer and have been in tight, uneven, rocky sites before, where we would have a hard time backing up, getting out (because of trees) or trying to level the camper, there are times we just wanted to leave. Now I never book a site without looking at the pictures in all angles first. So worth it.

BaseCamp is an amazing resource! My family only tent camps. I appreciate access to all the photos when making a decision on a site. I look for only sites on water, and use the photos to judge if access to the shore line is a good fit for us. Also, photos cross site and of road help me see how private a site will be.
The site notes that include how far restrooms and water taps are is super helpful!
We've used the Cancellations feature to book about 6 to 8 sites over the last couple of years.

This website has been a game changer for us. The array of photos that Basecamp provides allows us to understand whether or not the site will meet our needs...from waterfront proximity, tree obstructions, levelness, size, etc...it is priceless. Prior to Basecamp, we would rely on the Reserve America site barebones information, which led to much disappointment and frustration when arriving at the site. Aside from the photos and other key info, the Basecamp cancellation feature has enabled us to book prime sites without the stress of snagging that primo site nine months in advance. Every single site we have booked this season (all waterfront!!) has been thru Basecamp cancellations. Priceless!!!

This is an amazing resource for grabbing campsites throughout NYS. It is great to be able to filter for what you need when you need it. We are trying to introduce toddlers to the joys of camping before we take them into the deep woods. The ability to find a level-ish water access site with shallow quiet water and and lots of boulders for climbing and not too close to the road just by looking at photos has been so helpful! The pictures are of high quality and are exactly what you need to see before booking. I recommend this website to everyone I know (probably not the best idea to add competitors, sorry all)!

I can't say enough about this website. It's a huge help when trying to book campsites, especially campgrounds we've never been to. We have found new campgrounds that we never would've known about that we now love. The best part is the cancelation page. We have been able to get the best water sites using the cancelation page. I wish every state had a site like this. Thank you for all you do to make this happen.

Base camp has been so helpful. We often cannot make reservations 9 months in advance because of work restraints (we own our own business)
So we often pick up a cancellation from this site .
The cancellation page has been the only way we get to camp .
We also appreciate the great photos of the sites. We bring a truck camper that needs to clear a 13 feet height restriction. So it’s important that a site doesn’t have low branches. We also use solar panels on camper roof. The photos helps us choose if a site will work for us or not . Love base camp ! We highly recommend it.

BaseCamp is the perfect tool for picking up prime sites on the secondary market. For almost next to nothing, you can zero on campgrounds, and view excellent photos and descriptions of a majority of NY State campsites. You can also set filters and monitor the availability of your favorites. It's no secret that a lot of campers will reserve a site for 2 weeks, then later, cast off unwanted days for whatever reason. With BaseCamp, when that site availability pops up, you can simply click on the Book Cancellation button, and it will take you over to the reservation site. What's there not to love about this? It's a great tool.

We are a retired couple and are able to camp just about any time the campgrounds are open. So far we have 7 weeks of camping for the 2024 season. Base Camp makes it so easy to reserve the sites we want. The only complaint I have is trying to navigate through the CampBot, it never brings me to a spot that will answer my question.

BaseCamp is vital to find just the right site you need. The pictures are very helpful to look at each site from multiple angles and the descriptions are spot on. The cancelation filter setup is great to look for sites on specific dates or in certain regions or specific locations. This helped me find sites on a whim when I wanted to camp and had no plans.

I used to think that snagging a water site at a state campground was only for the lucky few who were quick on a keyboard. Since I discovered Basecamp, I only camp on premium water sites now. I never realized how many sites get cancelled! As an added benefit, I discovered new campgrounds to try and the multitude of great photos takes the guesswork out of choosing the right spot for our camper. If you camp at state campgrounds, you can’t afford not to have this service!

We've been Basecamp members for 2 years now and it has been a valuable tool for us in grabbing great sites! Not only have we used the photos to help us decide between sites, we have used the cancellation feature to help us upgrade to a water site at the last minute. Basecamp has also been helpful in adding days to a stay that we already had booked when we found that friends would be camping in the same park. We were hoping for a cancelation nearby, but ended up adding a few days to the site we were already booked on! Considering that a yearly membership is about the price of a one night stay, I'd say it's a pretty great investment if you spend any time at our NYS Campgrounds.

The booking buddy is amazing and will let you know exactly what's opening in nine months time. Getting first dibs on the cancellations is awesome because I can pick up great sites for a night here or there all throughout the season.

I joined so that I could see photos of sites before reserving after so many years of reserving sites and being disappointed after arriving. Since originally joining, not only am I still impressed with the site photos but with Dave McGrath for continually improving the site. Not only are there prompt cancellation announcements with links to quickly book but now booking buddy to help with booking favorite sites 9 months in advance.

Truly appreciate what the site has to offer and the new 9 month booking buddy has been a great addition. We recommend the site to many other campers if they haven't used it or know about it.

Best money I ever spent on a membership! Camp ADK has let me discover campgrounds in NYS that I never would have visited; the photos alone are worth the cost but wait - there's more! I love having the ability to "favorite" campsites and have it stored for easy access. The cancellations updated constantly are sometimes the ONLY way to get certain waterfront campsites, so it's part of my daily routine, and it introduced me to wonderful campgrounds and campsites. The 9 month booking buddy is a newer feature and it is awesome - no more updating my excel spreadsheet with dates to attempt a booking - Dave and Camp ADK does it for us! He even thought to put the 9 month booking for a few days out so you can "scout" to see if there is any site of interest coming up soon.

I am glad I joined Basecamp for several reasons. The many photos allow us to get a site that works for my entire family. Our kids and grandkids share our site, so we can picture where their tent will go. Also, the cancellation list is perfect for when we want to camp late September or October. We have gotten several sites that way. I have camped at FC for 65 years, and the new booking buddy will save me HOURS of work to prepare for the reservation day(s). The yearly cost is about what we pay for a day of camping.

The big plus for me is that Reserve America is an absolute nightmare to navigate, and pin point a favorite camp ground, favorite campsite, and a specific date and get it all laser aimed at 9:00 AM nine months in advance. Hundreds of NY campers doing the same thing at the same time 8:59:59!! Base camp is a very worthwhile tool. I really like the 9 month look feature. Well worth the annual fee!

CampAdk has made our family camping so much better than we could ever imagine. Rather it be the cancelation or the photos of sites it has helped tremendously. Because of the photos were able to pick a specific site to our needs. We can also look at the site next to it and see what it looks like from a neighboring site.
