// Why this exists
Not a specific campground — just somewhere on a lake or a river in Oregon, on a weekend I actually had free. That turned out to be shockingly hard. Recreation.gov and the state-park sites can tell you everything about a campground you already know the name of. What they can't tell you is "which of the hundreds of sites in Oregon are on the water — and which of those are open this weekend." So I did it by hand. I spent hours, then more hours, hunting down every waterfront campground I could find, noting which specific sites actually backed up to the water, keeping it all in a spreadsheet. And because availability changes by the minute, the list was never enough — I had to go back and check every one, over and over, hoping a spot opened before someone else grabbed it.
So I built the tool I wished existed: something that kept the list for me, watched every one of those waterfront sites at once, and told me the second one came open. It started with 22 Oregon lakes. That tool became Campsite Sniper. It doesn't watch 22 lakes anymore — it watches the entire country: every Recreation.gov campground coast to coast, plus Oregon's state parks, with more states on the way. Waterfront, your dates, your rig — you describe the trip, and it does the hunting. You never build the list. You never refresh the page. You just get the spot.
