    Questions

    Which campgrounds can it watch?

    Recreation.gov (US national parks, national forests, Army Corps lakes); Parks Canada, BC Parks, Ontario Parks and Washington State Parks; and private campgrounds that book through Firefly Reservations. Paste a link from another booking site and the page will tell you if it's not supported yet.

    What about a music festival or a big game?

    Pick a campground near the event and use the event dates. Festival camping passes sold as tickets can't be watched here. Going with friends? Fill in the form, then use Share these dates to send them a link with everything filled in.

    How do I stop alerts?

    Every email from us has a link to stop that alert and a link to see all your alerts. Each person can watch up to 3 stays at once, up to about a year ahead.

    Is my email shared?

    No. Your address is used only to send your alerts and is never shown to anyone else.

    Does it cost anything?

    No. You still book and pay the campground directly.
