**ReserveAmerica**, provides online campsite reservations and license processing for state, provincial, private, and local government parks, [campgrounds](/source/Campgrounds), and conservation agencies in North America.[1]

## History

ReserveAmerica was founded in 1984 as a [software development](/source/Software_development) company specializing in reservations for the local recreation industry. In 1992, the company developed a reservation system for state and federal park systems. ReserveAmerica provided reservations services for the [National Park Service](/source/National_Park_Service) starting in 1997. In 1999, the company contracted with the state [Department of Natural Resources](/source/Department_of_Natural_Resources).[2]

In June, 2005, the [United States Forest Service](/source/United_States_Forest_Service) contracted with the company to provide a single-source federal recreation information and reservation service.[3] In addition, ReserveAmerica also served the [National Park Service](/source/National_Park_Service), the [Bureau of Land Management](/source/Bureau_of_Land_Management), the [Bureau of Reclamation](/source/Bureau_of_Reclamation), the [U.S. Army Corps of Engineers](/source/U.S._Army_Corps_of_Engineers). [4] [Booz Allen Hamilton](/source/Booz_Allen_Hamilton) won the federal contract in 2016.[5]

In 2001, it was acquired by [InterActiveCorp](/source/InterActiveCorp). In 2009, InterActiveCorp sold ReserveAmerica to ACTIVE Network.[6] In 2017, [Global Payments](/source/Global_Payments) acquired the Communities and Sports divisions of [ACTIVE Network](/source/Active_Network,_LLC). ACTIVE Network's Outdoors division, including ReserveAmerica, spun off to become the independent company Aspira, headquartered in [Dallas, Texas](/source/Dallas), with nine offices in the United States, Canada and Asia.[7]
