You Can Do This Now
- Set up or review your online account
- If you have an existing account, you will need to “sign-in” and update your account with a new password by following the forgot password functionality. Please also review the “My Account” tab to verify and input additional information.
- To set up a new account, use the “create an account” option.
- Please note: if you create multiple accounts, you will get locked out of your account, and making reservations will not be possible without the assistance of P&R staff.
Patience is Key
- The new software has a queue system that will prevent items put in your cart from being removed from another online reservation shopper.
- You will have a limited amount of time to complete your reservation before being timed out. Do not create another account or you will not be able to secure a reservation.
- When online reservations open and you are searching for your desired reservation dates; if one of your desired days, the campground is sold out, your entire reservation will come back as unavailable. If this occurs, recommend searching one day at a time.
- If you make a reservation into multiple sites over multiple days, P&R staff does not have the ability to modify this reservation.
- Recommend that you not try to make your camping reservations from your cellular phone.
