Maroon Bells (White River National Forest) · CO

Silver Bar is full. Cancellations happen every day.

The third of the Maroon Creek Road trio, walking distance from Maroon Lake. Aspen has almost no other public campgrounds this close in, so all three fill together.

Free alerts

Email me when a site opens at Silver Bar

Your first email lands right away with where your nights stand. After that we only write when something opens.

One trip per watch, up to 14 nights.

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.

Last catch here — a date opened, gone by our next check (≤148 min later). That window is what an instant email wins you.

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.
