Reserve America - Things learned
We've used Reserve America numerous times for reservations without issue. I learned some things today. This is not a complaint, but some things that I wanted to pass on that I never dealt with before....

We have seen this before. Normally we stay away from RA as they tend to over charge for the site. Not talking about the reservation fee; talking about they had the wrong price. We use recreation.gov for federal sites the few times a year we make a reservation. Have had sites reserved out from under us with recreation.gov so none of the reservation systems are perfect.
You do realize that Recreation.GOV is Reserve America?
They have the contract with all the federal agencies.
Yes, wrong prices can be posted. We researched an issue with Winhall Brook COE CG in Vermont earlier this year - and found that the COE had set a date for new reservations to be at a higher price, which was being charged. But COE had not given Reserve America an updated individual campsite price list.
The federal government, over 40 states and some private campgrounds all use Reserve America.
One reason for confusion when you call them is that every agency, every state, every private CG company has different rules, fees, etc.
