Ratings and reviews

Dates available do not load reliably. No way to filter out day use areas for reservations so it makes it look like there is camping availability when there's not. I wait super long times for pages to load, like the app or server can't handle the volume. Super frustrating on top of an Oregon system that makes it almost impossible to get camping in the summer

Improvements still needed. App doesn't keep vehicle length retained. If u go to another app and then return, it retains dates, not filters, so you see more availability than exists for your needs. It can't easily call up a campsite number, without specific dates, to see availability days for that site by month.

The search by area feature is not functional. If you click on one result, and then click on another, the thumbnail preview (which includes the name) remains on the first result. The only work around is to zoom all the way in so only the second one is visible, then click on it to see the information.
