Improved site, easy navigation, detailed info. It would be great to have a few more pictures per site and reviews per site. It looked like there are reviews per site, but I wasn't able to figure out how to view. TY!

This app is great for getting camp sites as well as National Park passes. It's nice to do that in an app I already use and trust.
★★★★★Anneliese Dillon· Jul 11, 2026
We book our camping trips, it is so easy-to-use and can help us find new campsites to go visit
★☆☆☆☆Jennifer VonHagel· Jul 12, 2026
We love camping but, this app is stupid. There's no one monitoring it, so It's just a free for all. If you stay at a KOA there's a person who helps make placement make sense. Yes its kinda nice you can pick your spot, but if there's a week available you shouldn't be allowed to pick just one night out of it and make it not available for someone who wants to stay longer. I don't want to come for just the weekend, I don't want to have to pack my stuff and move spots because there's no logic to the app
★☆☆☆☆Gavin S· Jul 26, 2026
Despite being the only option, or perhaps because it is, for booking camping in some parks, this app is complete trash. It just doesn't work most of the time, it changes the dates you entered, and misrepresents the availability constantly. Be better.

Very difficult to get into the system. Get someone who knows what they're doing
