Dibs on Dirt: Campsite Alerts

About Dibs on Dirt: Campsite Alerts

They flake. You stake.

Popular campgrounds book out in seconds. Dibs on Dirt watches the sites you actually want and tells you the moment one frees up, so you don't have to.

HOW IT WORKS

Pick a campground and a date range. Dibs on Dirt checks it around the clock. The instant a cancellation opens a site, you get an alert with a direct link to book it on the official reservation site. You still book it yourself, in seconds, before anyone else even sees it.

WHERE WE WATCH

Dibs on Dirt covers California State Parks through ReserveCalifornia and national parks and forests through Recreation.gov, from Yosemite and Joshua Tree to Zion and Glacier. One dashboard, every site you're chasing.

FREE VS PREMIUM

The free tier includes 2 campsite watches with email alerts and a daily availability digest. Just need one trip covered? A Single Watch Pass ($4.99, one time) gives one watch instant alerts for 30 days — no subscription. Premium covers 5 watches with instant alerts on every one, at founder pricing ($4.99/month, locked for life) while founder spots last.

STAY IN THE LOOP

Turn on push notifications and Dibs on Dirt pings your phone the second a site opens, no need to keep the app or a browser tab open. Combine push, email, and SMS, or keep it simple with just email.

WHY IT WORKS

No refreshing at midnight. No checking a dozen parks on your lunch break. Dibs on Dirt does the watching so you can go touch grass and still be first in line when a site opens. When your alert lands, you'll know it worked: we call that moment "Called it."

An alert is not a reservation. You still book it yourself, fast, using the park's own reservation site. Dibs on Dirt never books on your behalf and never touches your payment information.
