not very user friendly I attempted to extend my stay at a campsite and with one click and explanation while trying to modify the dates it cancelled the days that I had already set up and then refunded me but said there was an error and they would have to send a Treasury check. I've just given up on getting the money back and repayed for my site to still keep the days I had since it is so hard to get the spot I was reserving.

I love it easy to use. I'm able to book through the application and help my family as well so that we can all get good camp sites. I love how i can pick what campground in any state. I travel all over the United States and love the flexibility it gives me. I can even use my senior pass to get discounts. i have recommended this to a lot of people and have never heard anything but good reviews on it. i love how it actually gives you options to see if the site you want is available

decent app. I wish the fee structure was able to support booking more then one campround with just the single "reservation system fee". Makes it feel like a money grab when booking out a whole set of places for a trip

Sorry about the problem - could you please try resetting password for your account (instead of signing up)? Current error messaging on sign up screen is a bit confusing if you have an existing account in the system.
