Cole, I forwarded this interesting article to Bruce. He has been traveling state to state and camping throughout. Yes, he too has experienced issues with campsites and so obviously not just Colorado. Thanks for the heads up.
Sure thing! Thank you for passing it along. A lot of states use extremely cumbersome systems to manage reservations. The agency somewhat addressed why in our interview -- a lot of these systems weren't built to handle complicated networks of sites. I had the same problems trying to reserve a spot in Wyoming. A lot of them are glitchy, and tough to navigate. I can definitely see why some users started cutting corners.
As a UX/UI designer by trade… this shouldn’t have been this dumb, let me fix iiiiit, argh. Haha. While I’m frustrated that it happened in the first place, I’m glad to hear that CPW is taking this seriously and working on fixing it as much as they can both now and in future. Thanks for reporting on it!
I felt the same way as I was researching this. It feels like every failsafe that should've been in the system just was not there. It's extra frustrating because I know how annoying the software is for users anyway
Love a deep dive!! I showed this to Ben and he was like, "this is why we only camp on BLM land." Hah!
No kidding! Thanks for reading!
