Two episodes in a row that once again, confirm the utter chaos that is the Portland Parks and Recreation system. Hoping people will be good humans and respect that other people want to book a site is not a realistic statement. Getting a reservation is pure wizardry. For 10 years I’ve been getting online at the exact moment the sites open up for booking and nothing is available. So now not only is it completely impossible to actually book a campsite in a reasonable amount of time, but it’s also going to cost you an absurd amount of money to do it. And that is if the gods are smiling in your favor while there’s a full moon and a lightning strike all at once. The state and federal governments funding systems
are nothing but chaos, complete lack of organization and corruption. You can be as amusingly positive as you want, but until the entire system is overhauled, absolutely nothing is going to change for the better.
