BaseCamp offers a comprehensive and FREE cancellation services to those supporting the New York State Campsite Photos project. This added value service is available at no extra charge.
However, we've noticed an increase in the use of page refreshers and automation tools by some members trying to gain early access to cancellation notifications. Since this service is provided for free, we strive to ensure equal access for all. Excessive and unnecessary requests have sometimes overloaded our server. To prevent this and maintain site performance, we've implemented a daily limit on access to the cancellation features. This helps everyone enjoy these features, keeps the site running smoothly, and allows us to keep BaseCamp's costs low, continuing to offer FREE access to the cancellation system.
For those interested in more immediate cancellation alerts via email or text, we recommend exploring paid cancellation alert services, which typically start at $10 to $40 per month. These services don't offer BaseCamp's unlimited monitoring or comprehensive campsite photos and information. For some, these services may be a better option. Alternatively, if you're seeking a campsite at a specific location for a particular date, consider using Reserve America, where you can refresh the page as often as you like.
The daily limit for accessing the BaseCamp cancellation feature is currently set at 200 inquiries, a number that may change in the future. A counter at the bottom of the cancellation and MyAlerts pages helps you track your usage, which resets at midnight. Most users won't come close to this limit.
The Cancellation Alert Feature provides you will easy access to current cancellations of campsites at high occupancy state parks in New York (OPRHP and DEC). The focus at this time is on the period between May 16 and Columbus Day New updates throughout the day between 5am and 12am 7 days a week. Please note cancellations can get rebooked at any time! Priority is placed on watersites, water view, beach sites, electric sites and full hookup sites. As well campers may post their own cancellations using the New Cancellation/Offer tab.
Note! The Cancellation Alerts page should be considered a 'First Alert' system. It provides a somewhat near real time access to cancellations as they happen. Remember however that a cancellation could be rebooked at any time as there are likely others like yourself interested in the same site, especially watersites and sites with hookups. If you click on a 'Book Cancellation' you are transferred to the Reserve America reservation website. You might find some or all of the dates are gone when you actually try to rebook the site. In this case someone else simply beat you to the site. You might want to recheck a bit later just in case that person backed out and didn't complete the rebooking. The monitoring does not continually go back to see if a site was rebooked or partially rebooked. Instead it's focus is on finding new cancellations. As such cancellations are only posted for 24 hours and then no longer appear.
For the most recent cancellations posting today use the Last 24hrs tab.
If you are looking for cancellations for upcoming dates at one or more campground then consider using the Setup Filter tab to setup up to 3 filters (5 filters for BaseCamp Pro) to help you monitor cancellations for specific dates/campgrounds.
Be sure to join our NY State Campsite Cancellation Facebook Group to get notifications of new cancellations as well as keep up to date on all the improvements and plans for the website, or to ask questions about reservations and cancellations.
In the future you will be able to post cancellation requests. ie sites you are looking for at your favorite campgrounds for specific dates.
You will be automatically linked over to Reserve America to rebook this site. If all or some of the dates no longer show available then someone else simply was able to rebook the site before you. If none of the remaining dates are available than you are simply out of luck. This site, "New York State Campsite Photos" is in no way affiliated with the Reserve America reservation system.
This cancellation includes additional days of availability before and/or after a reservation that was cancelled and thus shows all additional sequential days now available. It does not mean someone was able to cancel so many days or that you can rebook all of those dates. Simply select up to 14 days you are interested in from the new availability.
