Case Study: Recreation.gov achieves seamless discovery, planning, and booking of outdoor trips with Mapbox

Recreation.gov - Customer Case Study

Recreation.gov is the federal government’s gateway for finding and booking outdoor recreation—campsites, trails, and other adventures. Their challenge was to give users a single, easy-to-use platform that supports both discovery and complex trip planning, including multi-stop routes and accurate distances for longer vacations.

They integrated Mapbox maps and the Directions API into a Trip Planner that plots multi-stop itineraries, calculates distances between locations, and surfaces interesting stops along the way. The result is an all‑in‑one experience that makes it simpler for users to discover, plan, and book outdoor trips.
