Recreation.gov Customer Insights

1. Here's to many more camping reservations in the future!The website is great for doing research - a one-stop shop across all sites.

2. One thing to note that's not stated obviously is that you can't alter a reservation starting on the first date of the reservation, even if it hasn't started yet (for example, when check in is in the afternoon).

3. For instance the full fee option is shown which you first click on and then you have to click on "Select Pass" to apply your pass and then when you check out the pass is applied to the final price.

4. There are many, many campgrounds that do not turn up in a search (even though they are listed on the individual pages for a specific forest and are currently open,) and no apparent way to add information-even the name, location and pics- for a "missing" place.

5. I tried a different campground that is associated with the other 2 sites, and *boop* back to the campground i didn't want again.

6. It's too convenient to be able to make reservations, check availability, and look at pictures of sites on my phone anywhere, anytime.

7. And to showing Partially Available sites, which for some reason show no availability once you try to reserve (or modify dates).

8. With this last update, when clicking on a campground I'd been researching, it kept pushing me to a neighboring campground.

9. I've yet to run into any issues and find the interface user experience cleaner and more intuitive than the actual website.

10. Still a few improvements to be made, mostly to getting campsite locations right on the campground maps, which tend to be inaccurate.

11. The experience should be that I tell the app which dates i want to camp, and it presents my options.
