Watch Zion canyoneering permit openings

Zion canyoneering trips can depend on a narrow permit window and a specific route. FirstCampsite helps you monitor supported Zion permit results for changes.

How this helps with booked-out trips

Scan the route you would reserve

A Zion canyoneering alert should be tied to the route and dates you would actually use. That keeps the alert practical instead of broad and noisy.

Keep campground planning separate

If Watchman or South Campground would also make the trip possible, create separate campground scans rather than mixing them into a permit watch.

Finish the permit on Recreation.gov

FirstCampsite alerts you when it detects a matching opening, but it does not hold or purchase the permit for you.

Common questions

Does FirstCampsite support Zion canyoneering permits?

FirstCampsite supports configured Zion permit results in the scan builder. Support is limited to the permit areas currently configured.

Can I watch a permit and a campground for the same trip?

Yes. Separate scans are usually cleaner because the permit and campground availability can change independently.
