Just a tip......timing is everything on this "mission". Be sure to synchronize your computer's clock to atomic time. 1 second off can make the difference.

1 second early and you will be required to "Log-in" again (this may take several minutes due to traffic on the website). 1 second late and 50 people will beat you to the spot.

You can go here to download a free program to set your computer to atomic time:

That would have put you logging in 8 minutes early. By the time you logged back in, the CG will probably be completely booked up for a holiday weekend.

I'll try to go in and book a couple sites (if I'm home). We aren't going to this camp-out but if I can grab a couple sites for someone else, I'm happy to do it. What sites do you want me to try for?

Got your messages, my alarm clock is set and I am ready to go..wish it was a work day...I trust my work computer better than my laptop at home.  I will be trying for the sites you gave me.  thanks, Sue

only do it if you think we will end up with a waiting list etc I'd hate for you to get stuck with cancellation fees.

if you do, unless someone else signs up to do it I would say 66 & 67

I have a Mac and all this site had was info for windows so I guess I can't use this to check on the clock?
Also last time I tried to get in a CG with Reserve America I didn't make it so let me get the rules straight....... I can log in find the site I want put in all the info wait till 8 A.M. then push "Book this Site" Is this correct?
I 'm getting nervous all over again just thinking about this.......!!

yes log in...then go "park name" type san onofre SB enter then below that enter the start date and # of nights   then search. it will come up and then click on "see details" you should see a page with San Onofre SB and a campsite list starting with site number 002

under the campground name are tabs that say campgound detail, campground map, campground list (the page you are on now)

click on campgound map

you will see a little map of the campground, just above that is a pull down menu that say san onfre SB (full campground) pull down that menu and select "San Mateo sites 51-67 (some of you will select a different range of sites) and a map of the sites in that section show up.

click on the little RV picture for your site number it will bring up a page about that site double check your dates and number of nights

ALL THE ABOVE NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE 8am

as soon as it's 8am click on book these dates and fill in the info. have your CC ready you only have about 15 minutes to complete it or it goes back up for sale

if anyone still has any questions feel free to call me, if you don't have my number pm with your phone number
