I have booked this trip in January 2021 to make sure I will have a campsite for the week-end of July 4th.
First, the website is only mentioning 11 FIFS campsite when the campground has over 65!!!! which means, you can come and get a campsite easily even during busy holidays week-end. The area has other options as well providing the same.
Secondly, the website does not allow to book only one night during an holiday week-end which can block other reservations.
I was only planning to spend one night there but I have to book three nights in order to make sure to have a campsite for this specific night. I was feeling guilty for blocking two nights to other people for nothing but it was not possible to change this policy. While arriving at the campsite, the manager told me they allow one night any time of the year and without any restriction during peak season or holiday week-ends. I was very surprised to learn that Recreation.gov is neither involved on the Management of the campground.
To be honest, my camping experience has been very disappointed after learning that because I have experimented the same in another campground two nights before.
Putting restrictions which annoy people without managing a campground is very weird for me and I won't give credits to recreation.gov for that.
Hopefully, the next experience will be worthy!
