Straight Talk
We're honest about what we do.
Cadence
We check regularly, not instantly
Checks run on a schedule tied to your plan: about daily on Free, every 4 to 8 hours on paid plans. We never claim real-time monitoring.
No guarantees
We do not promise availability
An alert means a spot was open when we checked. Someone may beat you to it, so always confirm on the booking page. We alert; we never auto-book.
Your control
You stay in control
Verify your alert email, send yourself a test alert, see your recent checks, and cancel anytime.
FAQ
What to know before you start.
Coverage
What is live now?
Supported launch venues in ACT, Queensland, South Australia, and Victoria are live. Wilsons Prom Tidal River is coming soon.
Best for
Who is this for?
Campers who missed release day or want cancellation coverage without repeatedly checking booking pages.
Reality check
Are alerts guaranteed?
No. Camping Scout checks regularly and emails matching openings, but availability can change before you book.
Cadence
How often does it check?
Free plans are checked about once a day. Paid plans are checked about every 4 to 8 hours. A check compares the booking page against your dates and sites; if nothing new opened up, you get no email.
Alerts
What happens when a spot is found?
You get an email with the campground, dates, matching sites, and a link straight to the booking page so you can book it yourself.
Targeting
Whole campground or specific sites?
Your choice. Get alerts for any opening at the campground, or get alerts only for your chosen sites.
Peace of mind
Can I test alerts before relying on them?
Yes. Verify your alert email, then send yourself a test alert from Settings so you know exactly what an alert looks like and that it reaches your inbox.
