Tips for Using the Online System
- There are two recommended options to make RV or tent campsite reservations:
- Reserve by campground map to search availability of all sites for specific dates (not designed for use on small screens such as smartphones). Watch video instructions. View screenshot instructions.
- Select a specific campsite and then choose dates.
- If you use the “Date and time” filter on the Resource Search page, choose every day you want to camp, not just the beginning and end dates.
- The campsite you are booking is not “reserved” until placed in the Shopping Cart (don’t use the “Add new date and time” or “Add a booking” links). If payment is not made within an hour, all items will be removed from the Shopping Cart.
- All campsite reservation details are included in your permit, which will be emailed after you complete your transaction. Or access permits anytime online via the Account Payment Details button when logged into your account. Filter receipts by date, module (reservations) and family member.
- In your account, View Family Member Schedules is available directly below your family list under My Account. Campsite reservations will appear on your schedule.
- Check out all the tips for online accounts on the ActiveNet help page.
