How current is this availability data?
Campsite Sniper re-checks public Recreation.gov availability for this facility every hour and republishes whenever anything changes.

Always confirm final availability on Recreation.gov when you book.

Campsite Sniper detected 100 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.

Tuesday accounted for the largest share of the openings Campsite Sniper detected in the last 90 days: 25 of 100 (25%). Days reflect when Campsite Sniper first detected each opening, not when the change occurred upstream.

Campsite Sniper cannot answer that from the current snapshot.
