Stop losing Yosemite cancellations to faster campers
Camp-Now watches Yosemite Valley cancellations, can move a matching site into your recreation.gov cart, and texts you so you can finish checkout before the cart timer runs out. It is built for campers trying to land a Yosemite site in the next 30 days, when cancellations are often the only real opening left.
Upper Pines weekends and other Yosemite Valley dates often reopen briefly and disappear before most campers can click through.

How it works
Set your Yosemite target
Choose Yosemite and your target dates, then connect your recreation.gov account so Camp-Now can react if that opening comes back.
Camp-Now reacts when it opens
If a matching Yosemite site reappears, Camp-Now moves immediately instead of waiting on you to refresh at the exact right second.
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 on recreation.gov before the timer runs out.
Setup takes a couple of minutes. After that, Camp-Now watches for you.
Why Yosemite campers connect their recreation.gov account
A Yosemite opening can be gone before a manual searcher even refreshes. The setup exists so Camp-Now can move during that short window while you still control the final checkout.
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.
