How these results are calculated
Overall success counts a scan when FirstCampsite has recorded matching availability. Seven-day success includes only activated scans that ran for at least seven days before being paused, archived, expired, or reaching the reporting date.
Counts include aggregate scan records only. User identities, contact details, and private travel dates are excluded. A detected opening does not guarantee a reservation because the customer still completes booking with the reservation provider.
