A beautiful campground! We're so glad we picked this spot, right on the river.

Large site with single wide parking. Two seconds from the creek with small rivulet where kids can safely play. Very lush, on the verge of overgrown. Can hear the road, even over the water, which dampened our enthusiasm for the campground.

The spot was misrepresented. It said it fit a 30ft trailer and 2 vehicles. It barely fit the trailer. The camp host was not helpful in trying to fix the situation and told us we would have to leave our vehicle somewhere else in the park and pay extra fees. We ended up leaving and will not be staying there again. Makes me sad considering that I’ve stayed at Granite Creek for years, this was just our first time with a trailer. I asked for a refund as we paid for 4 nights and still haven’t heard a word from the facility manager.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.

Wildlife & food storage

  • Store food properly to avoid attracting bears; use approved containers or lock food in your vehicle.

Fires & fuel

  • Purchase firewood locally to prevent pest spread; burning imported firewood is prohibited.
