Yosemite campsite alerts
Yosemite campsites can disappear quickly. If your preferred dates are booked, a cancellation scan can help you notice when a site reappears.

Cancellation alert guide
Upper Pines, Lower Pines, North Pines, and Camp 4 can be the difference between staying inside Yosemite Valley and building a very different trip. A cancellation scan helps you keep watching the campground and dates you would actually reserve.
Searching Yosemite is a good starting point, but the best active scan is usually a specific campground or permit result. If Wawona or Hodgdon Meadow would work as a backup, create a separate scan for that target.
New accounts include one free scan credit. Keep the scan active while the date window still matters, then pause or archive it once you book another plan.

Yes, FirstCampsite is designed to watch Recreation.gov campground availability and alert you when a matching opening appears.
Start with the campground and date window you care about most. Add separate scans for real backup choices like Lower Pines, North Pines, Camp 4, Wawona, or Hodgdon Meadow.
