What you actually pay
“Camping $16.00 Single Campsite $32.00 Double Campsite $40.00 Group Campsite $8.00 Additional Vehicle (Online reservations may incur additional fees ) NOTICE: You may also pay through the Scan & Pay feature in the Recr…” · the Bureau of Land Management’s own fee record
Derived by CAMPANAC: the agency’s published rates for this season, $16–$32 a night, plus one $8 recreation.gov reservation fee for the booking. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night, booked once. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
Who keeps the booking fee
The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.
