Site Journal

App · July 2026 · Claude Code

A private journal for Ontario Parks campsites. I book the camping trips for my friends and family, and picking a site you have never seen is a gamble. Some are good and some are not, and a year later you cannot remember which was which. This is the notebook I wanted for that.

What it does

Covers every reservable Ontario Park, down to the campgrounds, the individual sites, and the trails. Around 124 parks, 20,000 sites, and 200 or so trails.
Rate each site out of five, add a note or a photo, and mark the ones worth booking again.
Search across parks, sites, trails, or even a fish, to find the parks that hold it.
A map of the parks laid over the fishing zones. Tap a pin to open a park.
Driving times from any town, per-park stats, and filters by region.
A Learn tab with safety and leave-no-trace notes.
Works offline once added to your home screen, and follows your phone's light or dark setting.

Privacy

Everything you save stays on this device. There is no account, no server, and nothing is tracked. Ratings and notes live in your browser, and photos in local storage. You can export a backup to a file and load it on another phone. One ask from the app itself: please do not photograph occupied sites, and leave a site the way you would want to find it.

Part of a set

This is one of three field guides for Ontario that share the same look. The other two are the Ontario Wildlife Log and the Ontario Fishing Regulations map, both linked from the Apps and Projects page.
