  • WILL NOT LET ME SIGN IN 1/5

    By wcraider2013
    I have double and triple checked my login credentials. Still will not let me sign in. Just successfully changed my password and it will not let me sign in with the new password either
  • Payment glitch 4/5

    By dsct1234
    I’ve been using this app for a couple years and overall I’m completely satisfied. The one consistent issue I have relates to the transition between the cart and payment screens. When I’m relying on a so-so cell signal (which is often the case on the road and I’m doing reservations) I get an error message telling me to check my internet connection. Other screens spin longer, but eventually populate. The move to the payment screen needs a longer work period before it times out. I end up either losing the site because I can’t get to the payment screen in the 15 minutes or if I’m lucky, one of my retries has enough signal to go through. This morning it was 14:30 worth of repeated attempts to get to the payment screen before I crested a hill out hiking and squeaked in. This was 3 bars of LTE on Verizon so it shouldn’t have been that hard.
  • App is horrible 1/5

    By Offshore 2
    Can’t even sign up Keeps freezing up
  • Can’t create account 1/5

    By ianpuffen
    Both the app and website freeze when creating an account.
  • Login issues 1/5

    By mpepperz
    It is now impossible to use the app on my iPhone 13 +. I have changed my password twice, and it is not working. It keep saying “you need to verify your credentials and try again” Dudee, I know everything is correct because I can access to my account in a browser. However, you need the app to apply for a permit. FIX THE APP!!!!!!!
  • . Absolutely horrible app and website. What a shame we have no alternative 1/5

    By Jacenyik
    I would give this no stars if I could. If this app was for a commercial travel site , rather than the federal government , it could not stay in business.We are paying with our tax dollars as campgrounds on Federal lands outsource to this program to do their bookings. I have RV ed through the country and this app and website only continue to get worse. It is excruciatingly slow . The filters don’t work correctly and information has to be reentered every time you look at another campground or campsite . It literally takes an hour to research and pick and book a SINGLE campsite. The booking charge is $8 now for every site ( when we have done all the work!) The cancellation policy is a joke . It takes just as long to fill out the online forms to cancel and when you are traveling , most people don’t have an hour of time to spend online ( assuming you can get internet and cell service) just to cancel ONE booking for a pitiful refund after the service fee. What a waste of our taxpayer money,
  • New to this 5/5

  • Camping 5/5

    By anything32
    Enjoy the lake and camp site very much
  • Login Failure 1/5

    By personusingapps
    The app continuously tells me that my login credentials are wrong. I know that my credentials are correct because I can log into the recreation.gov website with them. The app will not let me reset my password and will not let me re-register my account. It gives a different form of error with everything I try. I need to apply for a permit to hike the wave using the app only — they do not let you apply for this permit on your computer. However, since I can’t get the app to accept my credentials I am unable to even apply for the permit. I have read online that many people have this same issue and the app is continuously failing in various ways.
  • Love It! 5/5

    By Tatum4
    Easy to use, helpful with planning and highly recommend using the app!
  • Password 1/5

    By Loosecannon61
    Can’t even make an account because it won’t do anything after I set the password and press done.
  • Recent update took deleted map of camping sites 2/5

    By Kpage68684
    Love the app but the most recent update deleted the camping map that shows the flow of traffic within the campground. Get it fixed. I do not like it when an app has an update and it continually uses the same generic language on every update it puts out. Give us the info what bugs you squashed!!!

  • Difficult to find Availability 3/5

    By K no j hi I oh vac c hm
    It is difficult on knowing when to book most days are blocked out even into the next year.
  • Pain in the rear 5/5

    By SonOfSatan
    …but worth it like any good hike or adventure. I’m pretty sure they make some tasks like the lotteries hard on purpose to filter out certain folks. But once you get used to it, a breeze.

  • Booze Allen Stealing from America 1/5

    By JCrump111
    Service fees for booking here do NOT go to maintaining our parks. They go to Booze Allen who charges these fees to get rich off of what we should be able to enjoy while actually supporting the parks.
  • I need a campsite and park 5/5

    By Nanahamm
    Brand new to camping just picked up our RV yesterday making advanced reservations already for the spring. The site was very easy to use.
  • Failed at making reservations. 2/5

    By scpusher
    Downloaded this app, again, in hopes that I’d be able to make a reservation at a highly sought after campground. The morning the campground site became available I signed in, no problems, chose the dates, no problems, but when the time came to reserve the site, it immediately kicked me out because “too many people….” , site unavailable. Would not recommend this app to reserve sites, too sketchy and unreliable. Use a computer, where I had no issues last in the past. It’s “ok” at best to look at sites and campgrounds but that’s about all it’s worth.
  • Easy to use website 5/5

  • Good app, good camping 5/5

    By chippermom23
    I like this app for booking camping. It is one of the easier apps to use as long as you remember that “partially available” means not available. There are some really great campgrounds on here. Looking forward to our next trip.
  • Easy to do 5/5

    By fritzsbikes
    Easy to use. It saves your info, so you can just breeze thru it.
  • Finally scored a site 3/5

    By hlharvada
    Booking a popular site like Arches is very difficult, first to figure out how the site works, and second to purchase your site at the exact moment it becomes available. I was finally successful after trying three mornings in a row. I wish there was an easier way.
