Common questions
Will FirstCampsite hold the campsite for me?
No. FirstCampsite detects matching availability and alerts you. Booking still happens on Recreation.gov.
Can I watch multiple Sequoia or Kings Canyon campgrounds?
You can create additional focused scans when you are open to more than one campground or date window.
