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.

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.

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?

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?
