3. No Affiliation with Michigan DNR or Park Agencies

MittenCamper.com is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, MiDNRReservations.com, Recreation.gov, the National Park Service, or any state or federal park agency.

MittenCamper does not book campsites on your behalf. All campsite reservations are made directly by you on the official booking platforms. CampDrop alerts notify you of potential availability — you are solely responsible for completing your own reservation and verifying availability before booking.

4. CampDrop Alert Subscriptions

Subscription and Billing: CampDrop subscriptions are billed monthly at the rate shown at time of signup. Prices may change with 30 days notice. Your subscription continues until you cancel.

Free Trial: New subscribers receive a 7-day free trial. No charge is made during the trial period. You may cancel at any time during the trial at no cost.

Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. No refunds are issued for partial billing periods.

Pause Mode: Subscribers may pause their subscription at any time. No charges are made while a subscription is paused. Pausing does not constitute cancellation.

Alert Accuracy: CampDrop alerts are based on availability detected at the time of scanning. We cannot guarantee that a site will still be available by the time you attempt to book it. Campsite availability can change in seconds. MittenCamper is not responsible for sites that become unavailable between detection and your booking attempt.

Alert Expiration: Active alerts automatically deactivate when a matching notification is sent or when your specified arrival date passes. You are responsible for setting new alerts as needed.

5. Accuracy of Information

MittenCamper makes reasonable efforts to ensure that park information, rates, season dates, hookup availability, and reservation policies are accurate and current. However, this information changes frequently and we cannot guarantee accuracy at all times.

Park closures, rate changes, hookup configuration changes, and policy updates may not be immediately reflected on MittenCamper. Always verify current conditions directly with the park or at michigan.gov/dnr before your trip.

The booking calculator provides estimated reservation window opening dates based on current Michigan DNR policy. Actual opening times may vary. We are not responsible for missed booking windows based on calculator estimates.
