Free cancellation alerts

Get emailed the second a site opens at Blackwoods. Your Scout starts checking the moment you subscribe — the first email arrives right away with where things stand.

Free — one Scout per email. It only emails you when something actually opens, and you can reply to any of its emails to adjust dates or stop.

Want to change more — different dates logic, extra campgrounds, push instead of email? Open this Scout in the builder. Check recreation.gov yourself →

How it works

  1. Tell your Scout the dates you want at Blackwoods.
  2. It checks recreation.gov every few minutes, around the clock, and stays silent while nothing changes.
  3. The instant a site opens, you get an email with the booking link — booking stays in your hands.
