How does the cancellation alert for Barkcamp State Park work?

Grabio polls the Ohio State Parks reservation system roughly every minute and compares the available sites against the previous check. The moment a spot opens at Barkcamp State Park, often a last-minute cancellation, a email alert goes out right away, so nobody has to keep refreshing the booking page by hand.

How fast does an alert arrive after a cancellation?

Scans run continuously on a one-minute cycle, so an alert typically lands within a few minutes of a site opening at Barkcamp State Park. The exact delay depends on when Ohio State Parks itself reflects the change on its own reservation system, since Grabio only reads what that system already shows.

What happens if nothing opens up before my trip?

Grabio only watches: it never books, holds, or pays on your behalf. If no cancellation appears before your stay date, the watcher just keeps running until then, and you can also check the Ohio State Parks site directly for standard availability.
