Chimani helps you find campgrounds, cabins, swimming holes, biking routes, and ranger stations in national and state parks across the United States.

What we love: Pick a park and the dates of your visit, then add details like your lodging preferences and accessibility needs. Chimani uses that to create a personalized guide, complete with points of interest, local weather, and important tasks to do beforehand (like getting an entrance pass).

Quick tip: Keep an eye out for a caution sign in your guides. It’ll flag any closures, restrictions, or permit requirements.

Meet the creator: Founder Kerry Gallivan was inspired to create Chimani while trying to find his way in Acadia National Park. “Our mission isn’t just to help people visit parks—it’s to help them build a deeper connection to these places so they’ll want to protect them,” he says.
