non-refundable reservation

noun

Definition of non-refundable reservation

A non-refundable reservation is a booking that does not qualify for a refund if it is canceled, or only qualifies under very limited circumstances. Some campground systems make all or part of a reservation non-refundable once the booking is complete or once a deadline has passed.

The above is an entry in Campnab’s Pretty Darned Useful Glossary of Camping Terms. This glossary is another project from us, the two Erics (@shelkie and @karj). We had a harebrained idea to create a dictionary containing every single camping term we came across. Admittedly, this is taking some effort—and leaving us with less time for camping. D’oh!
