Spruce Mountain Fire Lookout cancellation alerts.

A Medicine Bow National Forest lookout tower near Laramie — reservation only, no first-come first-served stays. Books through recreation.gov's standard six-month rolling window. Each is a single structure that sleeps one party a night, so there is exactly one reservation possible per date — the scarcest inventory on the platform.

Alert me when…

Priority Pass checks this watch every 5 minutes instead of every hour, for as long as its dates are open. It also unlocks phone notifications.

Either button sets the free alert. “Alert me faster — $10” goes to Stripe first — stop there and nothing is charged.

Opening log

≈3,364 checks in 35 days. Zero openings.

We've checked Spruce Mountain Fire Lookout every 15 minutes since Sep 16, 2026 and have never caught a reserved date flipping to available — not once. That is what "books out instantly" looks like as data: cancellations here either don't happen or vanish faster than a 15-minute window can see.

Watching since Sep 16, 2026. Our shared checker refreshes about every 15 minutes — that is the measurement; your watch is the alert. A free watch checks every hour; a Priority Pass watch checks every 5 minutes. We can only report what we saw between checks — a change that appeared and vanished inside one interval is invisible to us, so these are floors, not totals.

Questions

How fast are alerts?

Free: we check every hour, day and night. When a site opens for your nights you get an email with the booking link in it. Priority Pass is $10 once, not a subscription. For one watch, for as long as its dates are open, it checks every 5 minutes instead of every hour, so you hear sooner. A free watch checks every 60 minutes, and a site can open and be taken between two checks.

How many campgrounds can I watch?

As many as you like, on one email address — every campground page has the same form. Each watch is separate, with its own dates and its own one-click stop.

What does it cost?

Watching is free — no card, no account. Priority Pass is $10 once, not a subscription. For one watch, for as long as its dates are open, it checks every 5 minutes instead of every hour, so you hear sooner.

Does it book for me?

No — you get the booking link the moment a site opens; booking stays in your hands, on the reservation system's own site.

How do I stop, or change my dates?

Every email has a one-click stop link. A watch ends by itself the day after your last night, with a note on what it saw. For new dates, subscribe again on the campground page — it takes ten seconds.
