Mark your calendar. Launch days can be really busy! Make sure to be ready at the exact date and time that the location you seek is launching.
-
Create an account. You can browse without an account, but you will need to have one to reserve a site. Access your account using GCKey or a third party sign-in option. It is important to note that sign-in verification will not work using Internet Explorer and older versions of Microsoft Edge. A modern browser must be used.
-
Sign in to your account ahead of time to practice using the system. Using a laptop or desktop computer, you can search for sites on a map, in a list, or on a calendar – try all three to see if there’s one that works best for you. Most camping offers can also be reserved using your phone or tablet. If you get stuck, try this detailed overview.
