IDAHO – In a recent press release, Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation (IDPR) announced that it will be upgrading its system and issuing a pause to all 2025 reservations starting August 1, 2024.
“The blackout is necessary to migrate from the current reservation system to the new one, which requires the transfer of park facility and customer information from one network to another,” said Seth Hobbs, Reservation & Registration program manager for the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation.
“We apologize for the inconvenience, but the pause will allow us to make a smooth transition to the new reservation system, which is intended to provide a more user-friendly experience,” Hobbs said. “Customers will find easier navigation, better tools and new functionality.”
The release noted the following specifications:
- Beginning August 1, 2024, all reservations for 2025 will be paused.
- The system will still accept reservations for stays in 2024.
- All existing 2025 reservations will be transitioned to the new system. So, if you have already made a reservation for any date in 2025, your reservations will be accounted for.
- The new system will go live to the public on January 6, 2025 (8 AM MST)
IDPR is partnering with Brandt Information Services to create the new reservation system. The company won a competitive bidding process earlier this year.
