How current is this availability data?

Campsite Sniper re-checks public Recreation.gov availability for this facility every hour and republishes whenever anything changes. This facility's data last changed at Nov 2, 2026 18:20 UTC; an older timestamp means nothing has changed since that time, not that checking stopped. Always confirm final availability on Recreation.gov when you book.

Campsite Sniper detected 639 site-date openings here over the last 90 days, none in the last 7. A free alert watches around the clock and pings you the moment one appears.

Which day of the week had the most detected openings at Forrest W. Bo Wood?

Monday accounted for the largest share of the openings Campsite Sniper detected in the last 90 days: 143 of 639 (22.4%). Days reflect when Campsite Sniper first detected each opening, not when the change occurred upstream.
