Getting a campsite at Catalina

How do I get a campsite at Catalina when it's sold out?

Cancellations happen constantly — the trick is being first to know. Set an alert for your dates and we'll watch Catalina on Arizona State Parks around the clock, then notify you the moment a site opens. Alerts run on a Pro subscription ($9.99/mo, cancel anytime).

When do campsites usually open up at Catalina?

Whenever someone cancels. Most reservation systems refund less the closer you get to arrival, so cancellations cluster in the days before a stay — but the openings themselves are unpredictable, which is exactly why watching for them beats refreshing the page.

How fast do cancelled sites get rebooked at Catalina?

At high-demand Arizona parks a cancelled summer-weekend site is often rebooked within minutes — sometimes under a minute. Being notified the instant it opens, with your Arizona State Parks login and payment already saved, is the difference between getting in and missing it.

Where do I book a campsite at Catalina?

Reservations for Catalina are made on Arizona State Parks, the official booking system for Arizona State Parks. GetParkAlerts is independent — we tell you when a site opens; you book it directly on the official site.

Does GetParkAlerts reserve the site for me?

No — we never hold or book sites. We tell you the second one opens so YOU can book it on Arizona State Parks before anyone else. Booking always happens on the official state system.
