On-line Booking and Reservations-Lions and Tigers and Bears -Oh My!

Completing transactions on- line is transitioning from a trend of the future to the way many people do business.The first time we bought something on EBay, I was just a bit uncertain about entering the credit card numbers, but the folks at Pay Pal helped me feel a bit more secure.  The last time I did a purchase from Walmart, I liked the price but really wondered if I had the right site pulled up. It's hard to tell sometimes. My daughter stays Amazon Prime has become much too easy to use. If you like on- line options the following information may help you with your next campground reservation.
  Here at Lake Eufaula Campground our on-line reservation system helps me track the comings and goings of guests weekend to weekend and keeps records of sites reserved months ahead.We only have a few sites listed for on- line reservations- 10 actually- because the main goal is to show a sample of what we have to offer rather than overwhelming everyone looking at every site option. If the listing helps overnight guests secure a spot when traveling that makes sense as well.Although our current reservation system securely asks for payment information, you are not charged until you arrive.

We have also decided to add to our list of on-line options. Here is how it all works:
1. We are excited to help launch "CAMP NATIVE" for on- line booking. This website takes payment at the time you make a reservation through a secure pay system. We felt this company offers a lot of information about the campgrounds you may encounter on your trip, as well as cutting down on check- in time. Their staff is very friendly and helpful. In addition we hope that Camp Native can help get the word out to more potential winter residents about our winter options. We have not found many web based sites that provide the type of detailed information winter residents need when spending several months in the same location.
2. Trip Advisor  We have a two of our cabins listed through Trip Advisor and it has helped get the word out for people not familiar with the area or those that do not know we have cabins. You pay up front on this site and we get word if you want to book. This helps since someone may have just reserved the cabin right before the request was sent. Trip Advisor limits the type of interactions we can have with a guest until the cabin is booked. Once payment is secured we can exchange contact information and talk on the phone.
3. Pitch Up- This site is nice because it targets guests traveling from  Europe. Feel free to Google the site to see how it shows campground information.

You can find our campground on -line through Good Sam but the webpage does not support booking on-line at this time. We plan to offer on -line reservations and booking from our Facebook page soon. We hope its not too confusing to offer site reservations on Facebook and our web page as well as  booking ( paid reservations ) with Camp Native. When traveling I tend to be a bit old school and use the Good Sam Book as my starting point. I get to see what sites are in the area before checking out the web pages on my phone. I am getting better at entering required information but there is something to be said for talking to a person who can head me in the right direction, explain the rates or help me find the a good spot. We hope you find our new on- line options helpful but when in doubt please call. We love to talk about everything our campground has to offer.
