   If the answer is yes, the same camp data will be selected automatically, and the process will move to the next step. If the answer is no, the user will be able to choose the type and location of the new camp to be booked.

   After completing the full payment process, an electronic message will be received on the mobile phone confirming the reservation and informing the user of the communication method to fix and receive the camp site.
