Relatively easy to use website. In process reservations are held for a few minutes, so campsite isn't bought out as payment info is entered. Has a great option to be notified when a booked campsite becomes available! Be sure to click the link provided to start reservation ASAP since email is sent to all who've requested notification. Would be better if it had a place for those who've used a specific campsite to upload pics that are then linked to the site & available to view when reserving.

The site is a little tricky to navigate, and if you don't like site 140 and want to look more it takes you all the way back to #1 and scroll all the way to site 100. You just can't pick back up at #99 or start at #100. Nope, that would be too easy. Anyway, once you get used to that, give got it made booking a reservation. BUT!! DO NOT try to modify your reservation once you've got there, OMG, what a frustrating nightmare!! Hmm, maybe I'll drop another star because of that. It needs streamlined!

I remember when you had to call to find out availability, but campsites were first come first served. I am SO IMPRESSED with all the new improvements. The app is beyond easy with lots of good info on choosing which site you'd like, when it's available, and reserving and paying for it at the same time! No more waiting on hold for an hour to get to someone. It's amazing and I'm thrilled!!! There will be a lot more camping in our future!
