Specific Sites — optional

National-park campgrounds are watched at the campground level (all sites). First-come / walk-up sites aren't tracked. We alert when a reservable site opens.

Permits are watched across all divisions (trailheads / zones). Walk-up / in-station-only entries aren't tracked. We alert the moment a reservable slot opens — grab it fast.
