A campsite reservation system that took effect at Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota this year performed well during the summer's near-record flooding and will continue operations going forward, park officials say.

During the flooding, which approached levels not seen since 1950, many campsites that had been reserved filled quickly and few issues arose, park staff noted.

"While some revenue was lost and visitors could not camp at times due to the flood, park officials were pleased overall with the reservation results and will continue to embark on the next phase of reservations," a park release said.
