Start free at Basecamp. Explorer is for the ones who don't stop at one park.
Basecamp gets you moving, free. Explorer is the version for people who keep going back.
Free. No credit card, ever.
Cancel anytime. You keep access through the year you paid for.
Manage or cancelSummer Sale price shown above. Join now and $29.99 is a Founding Pass rate: yours for as long as your membership stays active, even after the price changes for new members.
Is there a trial?
No. Every account gets a real day-one itinerary free, so you see the actual output first.
One trip this year?
Pay $4.99 for that itinerary. Explorer pays off around six trips.
Cancelling?
Any time, from the trip planner once you're signed in. Access runs to the end of the period you paid for.
What happens to my journal if I cancel?
It's still yours. Your stamps, badges, and journal stay in your account on Basecamp. You'd just be back under the free limits for new wishlist parks, trips, and entries.
Does Explorer work in the app too?
Yes. Sign in with the same account on the site and in the app, and your Explorer access follows you.
What are the camera looks?
Real colour grading, not a filter over the top: pick a look before you shoot and the preview shows the finished photo, nothing to edit after. Basecamp gets True, Forest, and Desert. Explorer adds six more landscapes to the wheel.
How do I share a story?
From your Journal tab, write one true story (300–800 words) about a park you've been to and submit it. We feature the strongest ones on that park's page with your byline.
What's a Founding Pass?
Anyone who joins Explorer at the $29.99 Summer Sale rate keeps that rate for as long as their membership stays active, even after the price changes for new members.
Renewal & cancellation
Explorer renews once a year. Cancel anytime from the trip planner and you keep access through the year you already paid for.
Refunds
Digital purchases are final once delivered. The one exception is a technical failure on our end, which we'll fix or refund.
Price changes
If a price changes, it never applies retroactively to something you already bought.
Your content
Your journal entries and photos are yours. We host them to run your account and never sell them.
