Terms of use

These terms describe how you may use SiteOpens today. They are written in plain language and will be updated when billing or SMS go live.

Last updated August 23, 2026

What SiteOpens is

SiteOpens is a web service that watches public reservation systems — starting with Recreation.gov — for cancellations that match criteria you set, then alerts you. You complete any reservation yourself on the official booking site.

What SiteOpens is not

SiteOpens does not book, hold, add to cart, or check out on your behalf. We do not guarantee that a site or permit will still be available when you try to reserve it. Cancellations are unpredictable.

SiteOpens is not affiliated with Recreation.gov, Parks Canada, state park systems, Find A Spring, or the U.S. or Canadian governments.

Your responsibilities

You are responsible for your own Recreation.gov (or other official) account, payment, and compliance with that site’s rules. Do not use SiteOpens to harass others, attack our systems, or impersonate SiteOpens.

Alerts and accuracy

Alerts mean we detected a matching opening at the time we checked. A site can be taken before you arrive at checkout. We may pause alerts or the service for maintenance, errors, or abuse.

Accounts, paid plans, and SMS

You can create an account and start email alerts. Paid plans and SMS are not live. When they ship, these terms will cover quotas, billing, and message consent.

Limitation of liability

SiteOpens is provided as-is. We are not liable for missed trips, failed reservations, or damages that arise because an opening was rebooked, a check failed, or you did not receive an alert. Outdoor travel remains your decision and risk.

Changes

We may update these terms as the product changes. The date at the top of this page is the current version.
