Download Tutorial

To download the latest Campground Master version, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the yellow "Download Now" button above.
  2. With most browsers, you will see a window asking whether you want to "open", "run" or "save" the file. Choose Save.
  3. Your browser should then show a "Save As" dialog, where you need to choose what folder to save the file in. At the top of this is a "Save In," drop-down list. Select a location in this list where you can easily find it after it's downloaded, such as My Documents. You should also make a note of the filename of the file (in this case is should be "campground_master_upgrade.exe") -- you will need to know that to find it later.
  4. Your browser will then begin downloading the file. How long this takes depends on the size of the file, the speed of your modem, and the level of internet traffic on the server and the internet. Most browsers will show a progress bar so you know how long it will take, but it should be under 15 minutes even with a very slow modem (14.4k), and only 4 minutes at 56k.
  5. When the file is finished downloading, you may get an option to "Run" the program. If so, then you may choose to Run it now.

    Otherwise, start Windows Explorer (or open the My Documents icon on your desktop) and go to the folder where you saved the file. Double-click on the name of the file as noted in step 3 above, and it will begin installation. Just follow the on-screen prompts.

    America Online users: See the Download Problems webpage if you have any problems downloading.

    * NOTE: If you get a "CRC error", "Not a valid Win32 application" or "Not a valid Windows program" error when installing: This indicates that the download did not complete properly. This could simply be due to a connection problem, but it can also be caused by security software that prevents downloading "EXE" files. Such programs as Norton, McAffee, or various other anti-spyware and anti-virus programs can cause this. Try the download again, perhaps using a different "Save In" location in step 3. See below for more information.
