Q. I wanted to camp for 16 days. How come the website isn't allowing me to do so?

Q. How do I find out when a facility is open for the season?
A. Click "Season Dates" on the right side of the Campground Details page.
Q. How come some sites have the 'Walk up status' for extended periods of time?
A. There are multiple reasons why this is the case. Some campgrounds may not allow for advance reservations during an off season. Or, the campground has chosen to leave a set number of facilities bookable only by walk-up customers. The campground may have its own policies with regards to walk-up availability.
Q. I've seen various discounts on the site. How do they work?
A. Senior and Access Pass Discounts: Owners of the Interagency Senior and Access Passes (and the Golden Age and Access Passes) may receive a fifty-percent discount on the use fee for individual campsites. This discount does not apply to fees for cabins, lookouts, or group facilities and it may not apply for specific facility amenities such as electricity, water, sewer, or extra fees charged for prime or premium sites.
• Pass Verification: Customers with these passes are required to provide the pass number at the time the reservation is made in order to receive the discount, and to present the pass and one form of identification upon arrival. If you do not provide proper documentation, you must pay the full recreation use fee prior to using the facility. If a customer makes more than one reservation for the same location and date(s), the discount will only apply to the site the pass owner occupies.
Note: Recreation.gov reserves the right, when necessary, to modify reservation policies.
