When I put in my dates, I got dozens of "available" results that all had ZERO available compsites. Going through every single one was such a waste of time. What is the point of being able to enter your preferred dates if that isn't reflected in your results? I have used this app many times in the past and don't remember having this problem, so maybe a temporary bug or bad update?

Full of bugs and glitches. Choppy, slow, and frustrating. It won't let me edit my profile like: " change my email address". I'm using the app on my Android. They've got some work to do on this app. I wish I could love it, but I don't. Every time I go on it to make a reservation for a Wilderness permit or a camping site, it takes so long that I wish I was on the old system.

Dates available do not load reliably. No way to filter out day use areas for reservations so it makes it look like there is camping availability when there's not. I wait super long times for pages to load, like the app or server can't handle the volume. Super frustrating on top of an Oregon system that makes it almost impossible to get camping in the summer
