How it works

01

Set your Kirby Cove target

Choose Kirby Cove and your target dates in the next 30 days, then connect your Recreation.gov account so Camp-Now can react if that opening comes back.

02

Camp-Now reacts when it opens

If a matching Kirby Cove site reappears, Camp-Now moves immediately instead of waiting on you to refresh at the exact right second.

03

You get the text and finish checkout

If the site is added to your Recreation.gov cart, you get the alert and finish the reservation before the timer runs out.

Setup takes a couple of minutes. After that, Camp-Now watches for you.

Why Kirby Cove campers connect their Recreation.gov account

Kirby Cove is tiny-inventory and photo-heavy, so openings can disappear before a manual searcher gets through the cart flow. Camp-Now is designed to move during that short window, then hand checkout back to you.

Secure account connection

Camp-Now needs your connected recreation.gov account so it can react faster than a manual refresh.

No card required to start

You can create your account and begin monitoring before deciding to add a payment method.

You complete final checkout

Camp-Now improves your reaction time. It does not hide or replace the final reservation step.
