How to Import Your Travel Plans

If you already have reservations planned somewhere else, you don't have to re-enter everything by hand. There are two fast ways to bring your existing travel plans in.

Option 1 — Paste a Thousand Trails Email Into AI (Easiest)

When Thousand Trails sends you a reservation confirmation email, you can hand it directly to the AI assistant and it will handle the import automatically.

• Open the confirmation email from Thousand Trails in your inbox.

• Select all the text in the email body and copy it.

• Open the AI assistant from your dashboard.

• Paste the email and ask the AI to import your reservation — something like "Import this Thousand Trails confirmation into my current trip."

• The AI reads the email, extracts the dates, location, and details, and creates the reservation for you.

This is the fastest path if you have a confirmation sitting in your inbox right now.

Option 2 — Import from TripWizard

If you use TripWizard to plan your routes, you can export your entire trip as an Excel file and bring it in at once.

Step 1 — Export Your Trip from TripWizard

• Open a specific trip in TripWizard.

• Click the red Trip Tools button.

• Under Exporting & Sharing, choose Export Trip.

• Select Excel Export (.xlsx).

• Save the file to your computer.

You now have an .xlsx file ready to move.

Step 2 — Open Import in the App

• Go to Reservations from the dashboard.

• Open My Timeline — you can also import from Card View or U.S. Map View.

• Make sure the timeline is expanded.

• Click the cogwheel in the corner.

• Under Data, choose Import Reservations.

Step 3 — Upload and Preview

• Select the Excel .xlsx file you exported from TripWizard.

• Click Import.

• You'll land on the Import Preview page.

If it doesn't open automatically, check the left navigation — the Import Preview link stays visible while the import is pending.

Step 4 — Review Before You Commit

The Import Preview page gives you full control before anything is saved.

• Remove stops you don't want to include — toggle them off individually.

• Edit dates or details on anything that doesn't look right.

• Confirm night counts to make sure the schedule matches.

• Check for duplicates — the app flags any stops that look like they already exist in your timeline so you don't end up with doubles.

Step 5 — Select Your Trip and Finalize

• Choose which trip you want to import the stops into. If you have multiple trips, you pick the right one here.

• When everything looks right, click Accept & Import.

Your stops are now on your timeline — visible on the map, shareable with friends, and ready for real coordination.

Quick Tips

• The AI option works for any campground confirmation email — not just Thousand Trails. If the email has dates, a location, and a reservation number, the AI can usually handle it.

• You can re-import the same TripWizard file after making changes in TripWizard — the duplicate detection will catch what's already there and only add what's new.

• Import Preview stays available until you confirm or cancel — so you can step away and come back without losing your place.

If you run into anything unexpected during import, the AI assistant is the fastest way to get unstuck.
