We arrived without a reservation, and were told that we must have one to camp there. We do not have a smart phone, but our hosts (husband and wife) helped us to contact reservations.gov. This process took about one half hour of our hosts' (and our) time, but at least we were able to stay.
We would like to register our dislike of what seems to be the new way of registration for a campsite. We do not always know how far we can travel, or what the weather will be like when we arrive at a campground. The old way of registering for a site seemed to work well for us, and seems to follow the thinking "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
Sincerely,
Janet Slough
