The Vigo County Parks and Recreation Board voted to leave the current reservation fee structure in place for 2026 — $3 for offline reservations and $3 for online reservations — after staff raised concerns about Campspot raising rates mid‑season.
Staff summarized options including moving to a percentage fee or switching reservation platforms. Staff said keeping the current fees would cost the department an estimated $1,100 for the 2026 season but would avoid the operational complexity of switching systems midstream. The board agreed to re‑evaluate the reservation vendor and fee structure in October or November.
Members noted the administrative burden of changing systems while reservations are active and discussed alternatives such as a percentage fee or a cap on per‑reservation charges; no specific replacement vendor was chosen. The decision leaves day‑to‑day reservation processing unchanged for campers.
