Why it's hard to book

The most coveted campsite under the oldest trees in the world.

Giant sequoias grow in only 73 Sierra Nevada groves — nowhere else on Earth. The only way to camp directly beneath them is at these federal campgrounds. There is no private lodging alternative that puts you under the canopy of the world's largest trees.

Lodgepole and Potwisha open on Recreation.gov up to 4 months ahead and sell out within minutes for summer weekends. By the time most people think to check, the dates they want are gone.

CampWatch monitors cancellations 24/7 so you don't have to set an alarm or refresh a browser. The moment a site opens in your date range, you get an email.
