I have herd from more than one person that the trick is to be on te site at EXACTLY 8:00AM & be redy to search & select your site. I hae herd from others that it's midnight!
Whats the real deal on reserving a site on Reserve America?
It really depends on what state or states you are making reservations for. As a for instance, CT, allows you to book no more than 11 months in advance but NYS allows you to book 9 months in advance. I generally book around 2 in the morning on the day the window opens and have no problems since I already did my research and know what my favorite sites are.
reserveamerica also helps the date challenged amongst us by allowing you to put in an earlier than the window date reservation and then telling you it's not opened yet for reservations and what the actual date IS for making one;).
Now the Fed system for booking @ Fire Island's National Seashore is not a part of reserveamerica so I go to that site separately and book at the stroke of midnight. And cross my toes and fingers since the system is slower and not as intuitive as RA's.
HTH!
