Going to Camp Auto Click

A Tampermonkey userscript that automatically attempts to reserve campsites on Washington State Parks' "Going to Camp" website at a precise target time.

Overview

This script helps automate the campsite reservation process by automatically clicking the "Add to Stay" button at a configured time (default: 7:00 AM PST). It includes visual status indicators, automatic retry logic, and success detection.

Features

• ⏰ Precise Timing: Clicks within a configurable time window (default: 1 second before to 3 seconds after target time)
• 🎯 Smart Clicking: Monitors button availability and automatically retries up to 50 times
• 📊 Live Status Display: Shows current time, click attempts, and reservation status in a persistent banner
• 🔔 Success Detection: Automatically detects successful reservations and plays an alert sound
• 🔄 React-Aware: Handles dynamic page updates without losing functionality
• 👁️ Visibility Monitoring: Warns if the tab is not visible (which would affect timer accuracy)

Installation

1. Install Tampermonkey browser extension
2. Click on the Tampermonkey icon → "Create a new script"
3. Copy the contents of script.js and paste it into the editor
4. Save the script (Ctrl+S or Cmd+S)

Auto-Update

The script includes auto-update URLs that point to this repository. Once installed, Tampermonkey will automatically check for updates.

Usage

1. Log in to your Going to Camp account at washington.goingtocamp.com
2. Navigate to the reservation page for your desired campsite
3. Select the campsite you want to reserve (the script will confirm your selection)
4. Keep the browser tab visible - the script requires the tab to be active for accurate timing
5. Wait for the script to automatically click at the configured time
6. Complete the reservation in your cart by 7:05 AM PST

Important Notes

• ⚠️ Keep the browser tab visible at all times - hidden tabs may have throttled timers
• ⚠️ Disable computer sleep mode and screen lock
• ⚠️ Be present at your computer by 7:05 AM to complete the checkout process
• ⚠️ The script only adds to cart - you must manually complete the reservation

Configuration

You can modify the configuration at the top of script.js:

const CONFIG = {
    timezone: 'PST',                    // Display timezone
    timezoneId: 'America/Los_Angeles',  // IANA timezone identifier
    targetHour: 7,                      // Hour (24-hour format)
    targetMinute: 0,                    // Minute
    targetSecond: 0,                    // Second
    preFireSeconds: 1,                  // Start clicking X seconds early
    postFireSeconds: 3,                 // Continue clicking X seconds late
    maxClicks: 50,                      // Maximum click attempts
    checkInterval: 50,                  // Timer check interval (ms)
};

Status Banner

The script displays a banner at the top of the page showing:

• Campsite Selection Status: Green border = selected, Red border = not selected
• System Time: Current time with milliseconds
• Target Time: When the script will start clicking
• Click Attempts: Number of clicks attempted / maximum allowed
• Status: Current state (WAITING, ATTEMPTING, POSSIBLY SUCCESSFUL)

How It Works

1. Initialization: Waits for React to render the page content
2. Monitoring: Checks every 50ms if the current time is within the click window
3. Clicking: When in the window, clicks the "Add to Stay" button if it's enabled
4. Success Detection: Watches for cart navigation or success modals
5. Alert: Plays a sound and updates status when success is detected

Troubleshooting

Script not working?

• Ensure Tampermonkey is enabled
• Check that the page URL matches: https://washington.goingtocamp.com/create-booking/*
• Verify the banner appears at the top of the page

Timer not accurate?

• Keep the browser tab visible and active
• Close other tabs/applications to reduce system load
• Check your system clock is accurate

Button not clicking?

• Ensure a campsite is selected (banner should be green)
• Check browser console (F12) for error messages
