This looks like a great resource on one of my favorite parks, Yosemite. I'm from California, 36 years old and pretty much grew up in Orange County CA my whole life. During the summers and vacations, my parents often took our family up to Yosemite.
With these fond memories, I'm going to try to do the same for my two kids, age 5 and 2. I found an ad for 2 housekeeping camp sites on craigslist, and the seller was letting them go at his cost (well I assume that it is his cost, it is the same cost, $91/night plus fees for each site, that I see when I go to the reservation system). I'm going to purchase them tonight. Seller says that they already took 50% as a deposit on the site (the first night's rate) and that I'd be responsible for the 2nd night payment when I arrive. So I only have to pay him half in cash upfront.
One - is this the typical SOP for a national parks reservation, where they take a deposit of the first night's cost, and you pay the rest when you arrive? Two, is transferring a campsite from one person to another OK within the the reservation system? What info do I want to make sure that I get from the seller, that I don't get ripped off?
Thanks in advance!
