## What is CampPulse?

Getting a campsite at a California State Park feels impossible. The best spots sell out in minutes — but cancellations happen all the time.

CampPulse watches reservecalifornia.com for you, around the clock. The moment a site opens up, you get a push notification — and one tap takes you straight to the booking page.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Sign in with your Google account
2. Add a watch — pick a park, campground, and your dates
3. Go about your life
4. Get notified the instant availability opens up
5. Tap the notification to book before anyone else

WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE

• 1 active watch, covering 1 campground and 1 date range
• Availability checked every hour
• Push notification with a direct link to the booking page

CAMPPULSE PRO — OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION

A cancelled site is usually gone within 15 minutes, so an hourly check misses most of them. Pro checks every 5 minutes and lets you watch far more at once.

• Availability checked every 5 minutes instead of every hour
• Up to 10 active watches, across up to 10 campgrounds
• Up to 10 date ranges, so you can cover a whole flexible trip

SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS

• CampPulse Pro Monthly — 1 month, $4.99 per month
• CampPulse Pro Yearly — 1 year, $39.99 per year ($3.33 per month)

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period, at the price listed above. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Prices are in U.S. dollars and may vary by country or region.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-08-31

Nearby, rebuilt

The tab now opens on a curated list of 40 California state park campgrounds, each with photos and a note on what the place is actually like. Tap one to read about it, browse the gallery, or start watching it for openings. The radius search is still here — it moved to the button at the top right.

Gear — a new tab

A car-camping packing list built for California: 96 items across 11 categories, from the tent down to the dog's water bowl. 35 are marked Essential, and one tap filters to just those. Each item carries a note on why it matters here — bear-proof food storage, the fire restrictions that ban wood fires for weeks at a time, the Sierra nights that fall into the 30s in July.

CampPulse Pro

Free accounts check for openings once an hour and follow one campground. Pro checks every 5 minutes and follows up to 10 watches, across 10 campgrounds and 10 date ranges. Cancellations at popular parks get taken quickly, and that gap is usually the whole difference.

Also in this update

Watches whose dates have passed now move to a Past section instead of sitting in the list. Open one to reuse it for next season, or swipe to delete it.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-14

• Watch multiple dates for a single campground and get notified the moment any of them opens up.
• Watch multiple state parks for a single date, so you catch availability wherever it opens first.
• New Nearby Search: discover open campsites at state parks near your current location.
• Tap straight through to the exact site and date from your notifications or search results.

Update now for a faster way to catch your next campsite!

### 1.1.1 — 2026-06-27

We fixed an issue that was preventing availability alerts from being delivered reliably. You'll now get notified as soon as a campsite opens up — no more missed opportunities.

Also, if you disable a watch and turn it back on, the notification timer resets so you get an immediate alert when availability is detected.

### 1.1 — 2026-06-24

Security & Privacy
  - Your watches are now private — only you can see and manage the watches you create
  - Notifications are delivered only to your own devices
  - Strengthened server-side access controls 

  Improvements
  - Watch editor now prevents accidental dismissal — swipe-down is disabled while you have unsaved changes
  - Cancel prompts for confirmation so you don't lose your work 
  - Minor bug fixes and stability improvements

### 1.0 — 2026-06-23
