recreation.gov is one of a rare few citizen-facing sites/apps (another is Libby) which are good in almost every way that they need to be.
I use both of these every week, often every day; and they are continue to evolve to get out of the way and let me get what I need quickly. Perfect? No. Infinitely better than they could be? Absolutely.
Compare the site California decided to use after opting out of standard consolidated solutions. It's mildly better now, at least it can load and refresh, but it was god awful for years after launch.
Mildly better is being kind to Reserve California. Florida saw what CA did and decided to follow in their footsteps, and now this new setup is the standard consolidated solution?!?

This is a win.
