That $40 'hidden gem' campsite app straight up lied to me
Booked a spot in Moab through this app that promised 'verified' amenities and a fire pit, paid $40 upfront, and got there to find a bare patch of dirt with no facilities at all. The app refused a refund because the host marked me as 'no-show' when I left early, so I ate the cost plus another $60 for a last-minute BLM site. Anyone else get burned by these third-party booking platforms instead of just calling the park office directly?

Had the exact same thing happen at a place outside Sedona last spring. Paid $35 for a site that showed a picnic table and toilets in the photos, rolled up and it was just a dirt pullout behind someone's fence with a porta potty tipped over. The host ghosted me when I messaged about it, then marked me a no-show too so the app kept my money. Now I just call the ranger station or check Recreation.gov first, costs less and you know what you're actually getting.
