    “Was able to get the impossible Milford Track booking through this, so grateful! Meant I didn’t have to keep going back to the website and checking, just waited for an email and acted fast!”

    Katrina Gomes

    “Missed out on the Milford track when bookings opened (was 12500 in line!) saw this site through Wilderness magazine and took less than a month and had 2 notifications in that time! Absolutely stoked to book it as really wanted to do Milford with my daughter”

    Janine Cunniffe

    “I am super stoked to get our booking on the Milford track, which felt impossible to get. Thanks so much to Schnerp, we wouldn't have got the booking without your help! Awesome service 💚”

    “Schnerp is amazing. After forgetting to book the last hut on the Heaphy, I manage to get our whole group in thanks to Schnerp notifications when others cancell. Awesome.”

    “Great service - scanned for hut availability over 5000 times for me, then let me know when a booking was available! Heading to Paparoa in Easter!”

    “I’ve been using the service for years and it’s a lifesaver for finding bookings for hard-to-find camping reservations in the provincial and national parks.”

    Sold out doesn’t mean forever

    Plans change, and when they do, that sold-out site drops right back into the public reservation system. Schnerp just makes sure you hear about it first.

    No false alarms. Every alert is a real, bookable spot. We check minimum stays, check-in gaps, and each system’s rules before we ever notify you.

    First to know. The best cancellations get snapped up fast, so we watch around the clock and send the moment one opens. No one gets you there sooner.

    We alert, you book. You book directly through the parks agency. We never book on your behalf.

    Free to start. 10 free notifications, no credit card required. See upgrade options.
