Confusion about reserving consecutive Watchman Campground dates

I'm trying to reserve a 4 day reservation at Watchman campground in either the A or B loop for late October, but I'm confused about a couple things with the reservation system.

  1. It looks like there's no consistency between sites as to when they're open for reservations. Take Sunday the 25th for example. It looks like some of the days haven't been released for some sites, but have already been reserved for others, which is odd because when I click on the sites that haven't been released for the 25th, it says, "For stays beginning on 10/25/2026, check back on 04/25/2026 at 07:00 AM PDT." How did other campers reserve their sites early?

  2. If reservation dates are being released one day at a time, is there any way to get a chunk of days without needing to wake up at 7am everyday and lucking out each time?
