Not sure what has happened with this app lately, used it for the last couple years without issue but this year it wouldn't let me view any of my upcoming pass reservations. So I tried logging out and logging back in and it wouldn't let me log in. Tried to submit a password change request and it just gave me an error message and no email. Tried again today to log in to the app and it wasn't responding at all. Ended up going directly to the website and was able to login and getting my passes.

I downloaded the app because payment wasn't working on the mobile browser site, assuming that an app developed for mobile would work on mobile. It did not. The interface was prettier than the website's, I'll grant, but that doesn't mean much when I *still* couldn't purchase tickets. I ended up having to borrow someone's desktop to complete my purchase.

The functionality of the app seems good enough. It does what I would expect. It's the hidden fees and unnecessary costs that really aggravate me. It says a campsite is $25. It comes out to 25.91. Then there's a sales tax. Then there's a transient occupancy tax. Then there's "taxes." Three different taxes?! There's also an $8 reservation fee. Now my $25 campsite is $37.02. Also they lied about cancellation refunds and fees. Also if I modify the dates they charge me $10. It's worse than airlines.
