I am trying to
make a reservation online, and it only shows a campsite, pavilion, or nothing
available, for the dates I am requesting, am I doing something wrong?
|
No, you are not doing
anything wrong. The reason that there are no cabins are, is due to a
"sold-out" status for the dates you are requesting. Unfortunately,
our online reservations system (Webres) does not show a monthly calendar for
our guests to view availability, and you are required to enter other
dates for your reservation. We are currently looking into other options for
our online reservations system. We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank
you for your patience, while we work towards implementing a better system.
