There is a known issue on some browsers where the campground map image may appear zoomed in and will be difficult to read. We are currently working on a fix. However, in the meantime here are some workarounds that should correct the problem, if it occurs:

1. Zooming in and out with your browser (CTRL+ and then CTRL-)
2. For multi-page maps, change the page and back again.

We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have a fix in place soon.
