User Reviews
Easy to navigate and use.
I have never had a problem with using the app very user-friendly And accurate plus informational.
There are many campgrounds that are not shown on the app.
Great site. You can plan everything around. Keep mileage, gas prices and notes.
I’m a happy camper.
Love using this app for my camping trips. Things have been much easier. My only nitpick is, wish they would also add lot more other campgrounds.
Once you’re set up in the system it’s great! The America the Beautiful pass is a tremendous discount, and the sites are always big at all the parks we’ve visited!
Fantastic experience, I support my tax dollars going to this app, rather than to a war in the Middle East
Forgetful filters.
Great app, easy to use.
Cannot verify email or create a password. So the app is basically unusable.
The previous NPS app didn't collect any information. Why does this app need to collect all this info? Is it maybe the third party who wrote this app who's collecting our information?
