What to do when campping finds availability

Good news: campping has found a stay that matches your alert. Check the details and head to the official booking site. The campsite isn't held for you, so it could be taken before you book.

Check the stay

Open the notification and check the camp or site, arrival and departure dates, and when the check happened. If your alert has several arrival dates, the notification applies to the stay shown, not necessarily the others.

Make sure the trip still works for you. Check the park's information if you need to confirm access or whether your equipment fits.

Check whether it is still available

If the result is old, unknown or expired and you see Recheck availability, use it to request a fresh check. The stay may have gone, or the check may not be able to confirm it. If that happens, follow the page's instructions or check with the provider directly.

Notification links can expire. An expired booking continuation may offer a recheck for a new link. If you can't open the notification at all, sign in and check the alert in .

Book with the provider

Select Continue to booking site when it's available. Depending on the provider, you may need to choose the camp, site, dates or people again.

Before paying, check the full stay, group and equipment details, any required permits, the total price and cancellation terms. Complete the provider's booking process and keep the confirmation.

After you book

Return to Watchlist and choose Mark as booked on the alert. Confirm to stop it checking. This updates your alert in campping; your booking is managed by the provider.

Check any other alerts for the same trip and pause the ones you no longer need.

If the site is gone

Availability can change quickly. If the stay has gone but you'd still like it, check that your alert is active in Watchlist and let it keep checking.

You could also consider other arrival dates or another suitable camp. There are more ideas in what to do when a campground is booked out.
