Review Summary

VerifiedFebruary 2, 2021 • Stayed at: 02, Loop: AREA RAMSHORN
Interseting that this feedback was asked for. Our reservation was cancelled by .gov and we never were able to stay. It was a bad experience all the way around because of the mess of how camping has been handled. We were told that tree work was being done at that campground so they were cancelling everyone. Luckily a nice summer camp we contacted let us stay there instead. It has been insane how camping has been handled over the past year especially when it is one of the only ways to easily social distance. Thankfully Nevada has been much more open.

- A no-show customer is one who does not arrive at a campground and does not cancel the reservation by check-out time on the day after the scheduled arrival date (or for day-use facilities, by check-in time the day of arrival). * No-show customers are only recorded at staffed facilities. At most remote facilities, all customers are noted as automatically checked-in on the date of arrival.* It is recommended that staffed facilities hold a campsite until check-out time on the day following the arrival date.* It is recommended that staffed facilities hold group day-use facilities until check-in time on the arrival date. There is no change fee if a customer extends or shortens a reservation if the change includes dates from the original reservation. If they choose to depart early, they may forfeit some or all of the recreation fees. There is no change fee if the customer changes campsites that are the same price and on the same reservation dates in the same campground. If the campsite the customer is changing to has a price difference, the customer will be responsible for any additional fees or be provided with a refund, based on the price difference. Where recorded, no-show customers are assessed a $20.00 no-show fee and forfeit the first night's recreation fee for a campsite or forfeit the entire day-use recreation fee for a day-use facility. We recommend customers contact the facility if they are en route to their reservation but cannot make it by the check-in date. In these cases, no refund will be issued, but the facility can ensure that a "no-show" fee is not assessed.
