Parkday
A Wayside Foundry application

Your next park day, in one place.

Parkday puts the park, the campsites, the permits, the trails and the conditions together, then tells you within minutes when a full campground opens up. For a first trip or your fiftieth.

Where it comes from

Parkday reads the agencies that run the parks and watch the weather, and names its source on every reading.

Parks, trails and wildlife

Park pages, hikes, trail lines and climbs, and what lives there.

National Park Service, USGS National Digital Trails, USGS The National Map, NPSpecies

Campgrounds

Which sites are open for your nights, and what each campground has.

Recreation.gov, ReserveCalifornia

Weather

The forecast, warnings, UV, snow and tides.

National Weather Service, EPA UV Index, NRCS SNOTEL, NOAA Tides and Currents

Air and fire

Air quality now, fire perimeters and heat seen from space.

AirNow (EPA), OpenAQ, National Interagency Fire Center, NASA FIRMS

Water

River flow, depth and water temperature.

USGS water data

It never books for you

Parkday reads availability and tells you. You book, apply or enter a lottery on the agency's own site.

Your exact location stays on your phone

Distances are worked out on your phone, and the dot on the map is drawn there. A camping search sends only a rough area, about 35 miles across.

Reviews are read before they show

No sign-in, a short name instead of yours, and every review and photo checked, with report and block on each.

Every feature, one at a time.
