2012 Press Release from the National Park Service

In an effort to improve customer service, the National Park Service will be utilizing recreation.gov for reservations this season. According to Superintendent Pat Kenney, “We are moving to recreation.gov in response to input from visitors about our current reservation system. Recreation.gov will allow our visitors to have the ability to make reservations at their convenience.”

Recreation.gov is a national service that was created as part of the Recreation One-Stop E-Gov initiative. The system provides a single point of access to information about Federal recreational activities and reservations. It provides a comprehensive source of information about thousands of Federal recreation opportunities.

Recreation.gov allows for visitors to make reservations online at www.recreation.gov or by calling: 1-877-444-6777. The on-line service is available 24 hours a day. The telephone service is available 10:00 AM EST – 10:00 PM EST from November 1 – February 28 and 10:00 AM EST – Midnight EST from March 1 – October 31. The system will require payment for reservations up front and does have cancelation policies and fees (See the reservation policies section of the website.) Recreation.gov allows visitors to create an account at any time, which will allow them to log on and expedite making reservations on January 5, 2012.

Payment with a credit card will be required at the time of the reservation. Recreation.gov accepts the following major credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover.

To assist in the transition, the former cabin reservation lines will remain active to answer questions. However reservations will not be taken on these lines. Call the National Park Service at (252) 728-0942, or (252) 728-0958, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday after January 5, 2012, for questions regarding the cabins.
