Very attentive camp host, makes sure quiet hours are followed and very diligent about cleaning up the camps after departures. Wish they had a discount agreement with the Russian River campground to not pay $11 for every 12 hr. parking to hike / fish.

The campsites were very private, the neighboring campsites were spaced that you actually felt like you were camping. Unlike like many campsites where the next site is literally within arms reach. The setting was in the woods which was nice.

We actually ended up at Cooper Creek North right on the River. We love this campground, it’s FCFS so a little harder to come upon, but at the right time you can find one. Beautiful site, love the sound of the water running past. Camp host came and checked on us as well as two rangers.

The campground host, Scott, was super helpful and kind when we locked our keys in our car, and also when we realized we had booked for one night instead of the two we had planned. The creek is beautiful as are the cottonwoods. The poor spruce trees are dying from the bark beetles and the needles were falling like rain at our second site. The campground was clean and well maintained. It is close to the highway, so traffic noise was noticeable.

The campground managers at Cooper Creek South are the reason we stay there. Julie and John are the best!

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 all attractants securely to prevent bear incidents, which could lead to immediate camping prohibitions for tents and soft-sided vehicles.
