Keep campsite and zone plans clear
A wilderness permit result may represent a specific campsite or a broader zone. A focused scan helps keep each real backup plan separate.

How this helps with booked-out trips
Match group size to the permit option
Supported Joshua Tree options can have different group-size limits. The scan builder filters choices around the number of people you enter.
Act quickly on a match
FirstCampsite alerts you when it detects a matching opening. You still finish the permit reservation on Recreation.gov.

Common questions
Does FirstCampsite support Joshua Tree wilderness permits?
Yes, for the configured Joshua Tree wilderness permit options available in the scan builder.
Should I scan every Joshua Tree option at once?
Usually no. Separate scans for the options you would actually use are easier to evaluate when an alert arrives.
