Cancellations and returned openings
Check the official reservation page for cancellation rules and whether cancelled reservations become available again. OpenCampsite can notify you when a check finds a matching opening; it cannot reserve a place or enter a lottery for you.
The playbook
- Check the official reservation page for your dates and requirements before creating an alert.
- If your dates are sold out, choose the locations and dates you would book. We check ReserveCalifornia on an adaptive schedule.
- Choose email or text for each alert. Enable browser notifications separately for all your alerts.
- Consider nearby alternatives. San Bernardino National Forest is about 15 miles away and has 31 locations we can watch. These are straight-line distances, not driving distances.
- When an alert arrives, check availability and book on ReserveCalifornia. OpenCampsite doesn't take bookings or hold a reservation, and someone else may book the opening first.
