I have lived in Oregon for most of my life. Have only been using this App for the last couple years. I cannot express enough how much this app has helped me and my family explore and see more of this beautiful state! We are so lucky to have a App like this one! And so lucky that people are out there keeping the forest clean and green. The possibilities of where this App will take are literally endless. Every Ranger and employee that I have dealt with has been an absolute delight and can be a treasure trove of information. Be nice to them, and they may clue you in to a really cool look out or water hole. Can’t wait to get out there and explore more!! Thanks guys! And thank you Oregon and Mother Earth for being so beautiful in this part of the world! We all must do our part to keep our earth clean and healthy!

DO NOT use this app if you are trying to book highly sought campsites. I put it in my calendar to book a campsite when it became available 6 months out and kept looking and being confused by the fact that they either weren’t available for reservation, were first come first served, or were available but when I tried to book was told it would come available at 10am. At 10am they were suddenly all fist come first serve again. All of that was wrong. I finally went to the website and all sites had already been reserved. The availability information shown was completely false and ruined a vacation I had been planning for a year. I was so excited when this app came out and now will go back to website only.

This is an obvious evolution of the desktop version and I have been waiting a long time for this! So great to see something we needed materialize. Too hard to use my laptop on the fly and now we have it. Thank you for making this happen. Now as a suggestion can’t we get all States and Local Government parks added into this app? Sure would be and excellent “one-stop-shop” for all.

I have a hard time getting round in it to see campsites that are available on certain dates Just hit and miss to find a campground map or satellite view. I loved the old website of a year or too ago. When I look at owls reservations I can’t click on it to make a new reservation at same site or campground. I find it hard to navigate around and I don’t usually have that problem with website or apps. A 2 is generous.

I was feeling a little anxious since a lot of sites were not available so I made a reservation without checking what my husband wanted. I made the reservation and called back 1.5 hours, after to make a change. I lost half my money because of this mistake. I understand this is my fault, but I also am just use to booking hotels where there is a ton more leeway. It’s frustrating that you don’t have any leeway with this site/app. I wish they had a better grace period. I did like the representative I spoke with but not enough to ever want to book through them again.
