It started with a love for the outdoors
For more than 45 years, we've partnered with government-operated parks, marinas, and harbors to provide seamless reservation and park management solutions and connecting people to a world of memorable experiences.
Built by outdoor enthusiasts
Designed for better experiences
Camis was founded by people who love the outdoors and saw a better way to explore and connect to it.
We saw a need for an improved reservation system.
We set out to create a more straightforward, more innovative solution, one that enhances the visitation experience for visitors and empowers the teams who make it possible.
Driven by Passion
Guided by Values
At Camis, our love for the outdoors fuels our mission to Connect People to a World of Memorable Experiences.
Our values shape how we lead, innovate, and evolve every step of the way.
