  * If a customer wants to switch dates that are entirely outside of the original reservation dates, there is a $10 change fee.

  * If a customer departs prior to the scheduled check-out date, they may be eligible for a partial refund.
  * Please notify the BLM Moab Field Office if you depart early to allow others to use the site.

  * **Debit or Credit Card Purchases:** Refunds for debit or credit card payments made after October 1, 2018 will be issued as a credit to the original bank or credit card used to pay. In the event that a customer has cancelled this card, they will need to contact their card company to have the funds released. We cannot issue refunds to any card other than the one used to pay. If a customer paid with a debit or credit card prior to October 1, 2018 their refund will be issued in the form of a Treasury check.
