To select nights for your camping reservation, click on an active check-in date for the desired campsite. Then select the last night of your stay. Your reservation will be highlighted and your check-out date is indicated on the next date. Most campsites require a minimum of a 2-night stay.
Use the Calendar or links to change the date range of the list.
Select Multiple Campsites
Using this view, you can select more than one campsite, as well as multiple check-in and check-out dates, on the same reservation. This allows you to assemble a longer reservation from more than one campsite - helpful during the busy season. You can also reserve multiple sites for your group to accommodate varying arrivals or departures.
Consecutive Nights Required
You may select any number of campsites and dates as long as your reservation is no longer than 14 nights and all dates are consecutive or overlap.
As an example, you can make multiple campsite reservations with varying check-in or check-out dates as long as all dates overlap or are consecutive.
Reserving campsites with separate date ranges, such as over two different weekends with unreserved dates in between, requires making separate reservations. You can complete one reservation and use the Make Another Reservation button in the confirmation stage to easily make additional reservations.
