## What is Campsite Watch?

Campsite Watch monitors ReserveCalifornia for the dates and parks you care about, then pushes an alert the moment a site opens up. Stop checking the booking site a dozen times a day — Campsite Watch does it for you every few minutes, around the clock.

HOW IT WORKS
• Pick a state park and a date range.
• Tell us the nights you need, minimum stay, required days of the week, and whether you need hookups.
• We check availability every 10–30 minutes (configurable) and alert you the instant a matching site opens.

WHAT YOU GET
• Real-time push notifications (or email) when sites become available.
• A single-tap link that drops you straight onto the reservation page.
• A visual calendar heatmap of availability across your watch range.
• "Unlocking soon" alerts 15 minutes before a locked site re-opens for booking.
• Flexible date ranges — match ANY valid stretch in your range, not just the whole range.
• Watch cloning — duplicate a weekend watch for the following month in one tap.

PRIVACY & CONTROL
• We store only what we need: your email, the parks you watch, and notification preferences.
• Face ID unlock (optional).
• Quiet hours — we won't ping you at 3 AM.
• In-app account deletion (Account → Danger Zone).
• Full privacy policy at campwatch.kbjoint.com/privacy.

CURRENT COVERAGE
Campsite Watch supports California state parks that use ReserveCalifornia (San Elijo, South Carlsbad, Silver Strand, Doheny, San Onofre, Crystal Cove, Leo Carrillo, Carpinteria, and more). Additional booking systems coming in future updates.

FREE TIER
• 1 active watch, email alerts, 60-minute check interval.

PRO (coming soon)
• Up to 20 active watches.
• 10-minute check interval.
• Advanced notifications (per-watch overrides, quiet hours).
• One-click booking links.
• Future: automatic booking when a match is found.

Built by campers who got tired of refreshing ReserveCalifornia. If you have a state park you camp at regularly, let Campsite Watch do the watching.
