About
Recreation.gov is the official U.S. government platform for discovering and reserving outdoor recreation experiences at federal lands, including campgrounds, cabins, RV sites, and day-use areas. It covers over 3,600 facilities and 103,000 individual sites across the country, from national parks to national forests. Users can also purchase interagency passes, obtain permits, book tours, and rent outdoor gear through the platform.

For
