My phone isn’t reading the QR code when checking in at the campsite. Am I doing something wrong?

See the campsite post check-in card. Alternate instructions will be provided. These may include "Go to the check station," "Go to the campsite fee office" or "See the campground host."
Why is there a reservation fee?

The reservation fees were recently lowered to $6.50 per campsite reserved in advance online and $8 per campsite reserved in advance at the call center.
If I cancel my camping reservation, will I receive a full refund?
You can cancel your camping reservation up until 7 p.m. CST the night before your arrival to receive your refund minus a $10 cancellation fee and the nonrefundable $6.50 reservation fee when made online or the $8 reservation fee when made at the call center. If you cancel on the day of arrival, you will lose the fees for one night of camping, plus the cancellation and reservation fee.”
