Chris on a summit at dusk
Hi, I’m Chris!

Camping happiness without the headaches.

Campsite Ranger exists because I’ve always been frustrated by how hard it is to secure a good campsite. I don’t have time to keep refreshing recreation.gov like I’m trying to get tickets to the year’s hottest Red Rocks show. Every single alert here comes from the same system my own family’s trips run on. Questions, ideas, requests? Shoot me a note at chris@chrisdorsey.co — it really is just me over here (and my dog Berkeley, your trusted Campsite Ranger pup).
