Campground Reservations
The 2024 campground season runs from Friday, May 3, through Monday, Oct. 7.
A new online reservation system for RV campsites is in place for 2024. Accounts from the old system did not transfer to the new system.
Tips for Using the New Online System
- There are two recommended options to make RV 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.
- Check out all the tips for online accounts on the ActiveNet help page.
