"longDescription": "PermitSnag answers permit and campground questions for backcountry trips in the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.\n\nAsk how to get a permit and you get how it is issued (lottery, reservation or in person), the season, the dates the agency has published, any closures, and the official booking page. Ask about specific dates and you get what PermitSnag's checks last recorded, with the time of the check. A date that has not been checked comes back as unknown, never as sold out.\n\nIt covers wilderness, backpacking, climbing, river and canoe permits and the New Zealand Great Walks, in national, state and provincial parks, plus campgrounds on Recreation.gov, state and provincial park systems, and the national park booking sites of Canada, New Zealand and Australia.\n\nSign in to PermitSnag to set up an opening alert, see your alerts or turn one off. Searching and reading need no account.\n\nIt does not book a permit or campsite, enter a lottery, or take payment. It reads stored checks and does not call a booking site when you ask.",
