Last year at BCS, I reserved a great Hewitt campsite for this year.
Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be in Alaska during this year's event.
I have someone who I'd like to transfer the reservation to, but despite calling the campground for a month now, I've yet to get anyone on the phone, or even been able to leave a message.

Does anyone know if they're still not open yet, or changed their phone #?

Any idea how I can reach them?

Thanks in advance!

Hey Cameron, sorry I was going to look into it but totally forgot. Been stupid busy. If nothing else I'll switch the names whenever I can get in touch with Doni. I've reserved 3 spots before for other people and just had them check in and pay for the spot when they got to the park.
