Campsite reservation is finally catching up with the 21^st century. Campers can now reserve local Coon Fork Lake campsites online.

The new online reservation form is built to be user-friendly and convenient. Just pick your dates from their handy calendar and, voila, it lists the available campsites. Another neat feature: there is a picture for each listed campsite.  You can literally see the available sites and choose whichever you find most suitable.

The online reservation system does charge a $2 fee. If you want to bypass this reservation fee, you can register the “old” way by printing and completing a reservation form and returning it to the Administrative Office in Altoona.

Coon Fork Lake County park opens for the regular season May 1, 2012.
