Ratings and reviews

Only reason this app is getting 4 instead of 5 is because I believe there should be a rewards system to earn points for each night paid for. We live in our 30 foot RV and use this to book a spot every other weekend for 2 nights. It would be cool to have points built up from that to get a free night or half off a stay! Other than that amazing, super easy to use. Booking online was finicky on mobile. It would back out all the way to Google if the wrong bottom was hit. This made it so much easier.

In the section availability alerts > active, why doesn't it say the campsite number?? Please make it show the campsite number the alert was set for. Also, after clearing dates for specific dates entered, and tapping the back button on my phone, the dates are still selected, they never got cleared. You also need to update your satellite imagery as it is fuzzy and old.

Not sure what has happened with this app lately, used it for the last couple years without issue but this year it wouldn't let me view any of my upcoming pass reservations. So I tried logging out and logging back in and it wouldn't let me log in. Tried to submit a password change request and it just gave me an error message and no email. Tried again today to log in to the app and it wasn't responding at all. Ended up going directly to the website and was able to login and getting my passes.
