We had a site reserved for 2 days. We asked the camp hostess if we could get the campsite for another day. She looked on her paperwork and told us that we could, the site was open. She said, "This site is now reserved for you". The next day a family came, trailer in tow, with confirmation on the website that the site was reserved for them. Being a good citizen we loaded our stuff to leave. It was then that we noticed that the reservation sign had their name written on it. The hostess wrote their name on the sign but did not tell us that the camp was no longer ours. The father of the family yelled at me, called me a liar, and wanted to beat me up.
Two years prior we reserved this same camp but waited for 3 hours for someone to move their trailer. The host did not update the reservation signs, so another family set up and payed for it.
I feel like I was set up by the hostess for a near violent confrontation. I am upset that this other family thinks that we were trying to 'steal' their camp site. I'm really upset that this family came to have a good holiday, and it made their father so angry that it may have ruined their campout.
This encounter was very unpleasant for both of our families.
I do not feel confident in trusting this camping process.

Our favorite campground nestled under a grove of ponderosa trees, perfect for hammocks! Everything is so clean, including the pit toilets. The hosts are very friendly and so helpful. We camp here a few times each summer. My favorite part is that there is no internet or cell service, requiring you to unplug for your entire stay.

Ponderosa is a wonderful campground with a stream running through it, concrete pads for the tables and fire pits. Excellent access to the Nebo loop and the trail to the top of Mt Nebo. I made fun of all of the locals with their ez ups over their picnic tables in full shade. Then the thunder storms came and I was the silly one with a wet table.
