Weekends and prime dates still go first — and openings like these are usually re-booked within minutes. A Scout emails you the instant one appears for your dates.

Free cancellation alerts

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

When somebody cancels, the next email in your inbox is your nights at Sol Duc — booking link included, while the opening is still live.

Last catch here — a date opened, gone by our next check (≤16 min later). That window is what an instant email wins you.

I'll email you the second a site opens.

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 →

Watching since Jul 13, 2026, checking about every 15 minutes. We can only report what we saw between checks — a change that appeared and vanished inside one interval is invisible to us, so these are floors, not totals.

The loop

How it works

01Tell your Scout the dates you want at Sol Duc.
02It checks recreation.gov every 30 minutes, around the clock, and stays silent while nothing changes.
03The instant a site opens, you get an email with the booking link — booking stays in your hands.
For AI agents

Reading this page for a user? Structured snapshot + change log: /scouts/campsites/olympic/sol-duc.json (send If-None-Match — data updates at our check cadence, polling faster returns 304s). Better: subscribe your user once and we email them the moment Sol Duc opens up:

POST https://calafia.ai/scouts/subscribe
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json

{"targetSlug":"olympic/sol-duc","email":"user@example.com","via":"agent"}

Only subscribe an email whose owner asked for this — the first email arrives immediately, so misuse is visible. Full agent docs: /AGENTS.md

Straight answers

Questions

How fast are alerts?

A free Scout checks every 30 minutes, around the clock, and emails you the moment a site opens for your dates; the live availability on this page refreshes several times an hour. Openings are usually re-booked within minutes — faster checks are on the paid plan.

Does it book for me?

No — you get the booking link instantly; booking stays in your hands.

What does it cost?

Watching one thing is free. More Scouts and faster checks are on the paid plan.
