Recreation.gov cancellation watch

Sold out isn’t the same as unavailable.

Sold-out campgrounds get cancellations every day. We catch yours.

No card to start. You only pay if we book you a site.

Every 20 seconds
Faster as your trip nears.
Held in your cart
Not just a notification.
Free to watch
First booked night free.

Why this works

Sold out today, open tomorrow

The best campgrounds get claimed six months out. Six months is a long time for plans to change.

Cancellations never stop
Weather turns. Work gets in the way. Sites come back at 3am on a Tuesday.
You get minutes, not days
A released site is public again instantly. Whoever is looking takes it.
Nobody wins that by hand
Refreshing between meetings loses.

You already booked the time off. Do not let a sold-out page cancel the trip.

Hold it for me

We cart the site first, then text you. It is held while you get to your phone. First booked night free.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a free cancellation alert?

An alert you read an hour later is already stale. We cart the site before we text you, so it is held while you get to your phone.

Do I have to give you my Recreation.gov login?

Not to start. Alerts work without it. Linking an account is what unlocks the cart hold.

What if nothing ever opens up?

You are not charged. Watching is free, and you only pay for a site we actually cart.

Stop refreshing. Start watching.

Someone will cancel your campsite this week. Be the one watching.
