OK I have created my program to use the API calls. It is working great. I make it easy for my web site visitors to locate the type of Campsite (tent site, for example) that has water hookup and allows pets, in Florida, at the state park they want to visit and it shows available on the dates they want to stay. How do I get the visitor to the ReserveAmerica site to reserve this exact site for these exact dates; so they will not have to re-enter all of the selection criteria again?

What do the mapx and mapy values indicate? Can they be mapped to an actual latitude and longitude? I'd really like to be able to get the lat/lng of each campsite.

Hi Jeremy,
The ‘mapx’ and ‘mapy’ attributes are a campsite’s position within our campsite map position (for marker overlays on a hand drawn map background). They are not translatable to lat-long (our campsite maps are often not close to being to scale).
Best regards,

When I make the following call - http://api.amp.active.com/camping/campsites?parkId=70927&arvdate=05/15/2013&lengthOfStay=2&api_key=myAPIKey, I get a 404 error. I have verified that 70927 is a valid facilityId (North Pines Campground in Yosemite). I am able to access other campgrounds but not the ones in Yosemite. Any help would be much appreciated.

Is there a way I can find the next available date for a campsite at a particular campground? I tried passing in an empty arrDate, and I tried leaving out that param all together, but no luck. Help?

Apparently, the API doesn't return availabilityStatus anymore. Am I missing something?

Where are the site details by siteId?
