Secret Hack to Scoring a Camping Spot During Eclipse Week
I don't know if you know this but there's a solar eclipse happening this April and people from all over the world will be traveling to the tri-state as we are in the path of totality. If you were hoping to book a camping spot for the eclipse, you are probably out of luck. if you are just now looking. They've been sold out for months. BUT, I found a hack!

A 'Secret' Hack to Getting a Spot a Booked Up Campground
I have discovered that there's a trick if you want to stay at a campground that uses Reserve America booking system. I thought everyone knew about this but after seeing the number of people in my local camping groups airing their woes about missing out on Halloween weekends last season, I thought that maybe it isn't common knowledge.
All you have to do is log into the system and put in your dates and the type of camping spot you are looking for. If nothing's available, you can click the Create Availability Notification button to set up emails that will alert you when someone cancels.
I tested it out with Lincoln State Park on the Halloween weekends in October. I got cancelation emails every day.
Now another pro tip, they are first come, first serve. The emails seem to go out around 2:50 AM and 5:30 AM so you better be on it if you REALLY want a spot!
