A Python CLI tool for checking campsite availability on recreation.gov across National Parks, National Forests, BLM, and other federal campgrounds. Supports multi-campground queries, consecutive night searches, site type filtering, and amenity-based filtering with smart status detection.

🚀 Instantly search recreation.gov for available campsites across National Parks, Forests, and BLM lands. Filter by date, campground, site type (tent, RV, cabin), and amenities like pet-friendly or shade. Get real-time availability status—whether sites are open, sold out, or first-come-first-served.

💡 Perfect for planning camping trips when you need consecutive nights at specific locations. Check multiple campgrounds at once to compare options, then use the results to book directly on recreation.gov. No API key required—just Python and a campground ID.

✨ Smart detection distinguishes between sold-out sites and those not yet released, saving you time on dead-end searches. Pair with the ridb-search skill to discover nearby campgrounds before checking availability.
