The cancellation play at Falls Campground (Malheur National Forest)

Because sites are booked months ahead, a steady share of reservations get cancelled as trips fall through.

Refreshing the booking page yourself, every few minutes for weeks, works in theory. In practice, the people who get these sites are the ones who hear about the opening first.
