Won’t accept payment

By Conner Shaffer   4 months ago


App AND website REFUSE to accept payment over three different devices and 6 different cards. It’d be nice to visit parks if you could actually pay to do so.

website won't accept payment on multiple cards. No other options to pay.

Trying to sign up to the Phone app. Every time I make a login it says that the connection was lost. I am not able to sign up for the Phone app. I would like to know what I need to do.

Trying to pay for Arches reservation. Tried two different credit cards. Receive messages "trouble processing payment". Can you help?

By John Chlebowski   1 year ago


The map doesn't show roads just dots where campgrounds are located. Both on the computer and mobile.

It won’t let me set my password. It passes requirements multiple times and then still says error that it does not meet requirements. What a dumb app that makes me make an account to pay for campsite versus checkout as a guest. The camp host knocked my window at 4am waking me up about payment and complaining. I obviously couldn’t pay at night and couldn’t pay in the morning either. I tried again, at 4am, multiple emails multiple different passwords that all meet requirements, they all fail. Camp host said she can’t process my payment manually so I can’t even pay with her.

If using the iPad the available dates are not accurate. If I switch to a windows computer and the web version all is good.

Cannot apply dates in Recreation.gov app on iPad

By Karl Metter   1 year ago


Can not “apply dates” when trying to make a reservation using iPad. Works on iMac and iPhone. Very frustrating!

By Bill Moore   1 year ago

Same problem on iPad dates won’t apply iPhone works fine

By Mike   1 year ago


I contacted rec.gov about not being able to use the apply dates on my ipad. I told them it worked on my iphone. They sent back a unique solution. They told me to just use my iphone or another computer. Problem solved?

Cannot find campgrounds on Pixel 6 phone, works OK on my iPad. It had previously worked fine on the Pixel 6.

By Cunningham Dennis   2 years ago


Same problem: Dates will not “Apply” when using iPad (iPhone works fine). All systems fully up-to-date and device is less than 1 year old.

By Cindy   2 years ago


Same problem. When I hit apply dates on my iPad nothing happens. Works fine on my iPhone. Any suggestions.

By David Witner   2 years ago


Same problem, I select check in, check out dates, hit apply, no response. Updated software, deleted and reinstalled app, no luck. Apple device.

Who would design a program to have 3.3 million trying for 220,000 entry tickets on one day at one hour? Entrance to Yosemite on March 23

By Theresa   2 years ago


When I look at dates and hit the apply button, it does not work. My iPad and app are up to date. I do not have this problem on my iPhone.

By Valerie Sarver   2 years ago


Im trying to look at dates of sites and the apply button will not work. Is there a setting in my iPad I need to change or is this a problem on the app side?


Common dislikes about Recreation.gov app

- Campground site maps could be more informative

- More pictures could be added

- Legend telling you which campsites are available, first come or not available would be helpful

- Error messages when adding to cart or modifying reservations

- Have to put in annual pass number at checkout, but then you don’t
