Many visitors enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, scenic drives, and access to nearby hiking trails. Some drawbacks include limited facilities like laundry and showers, as well as overgrown sites affecting views, but overall, the campground is highly recommended for a quiet getaway in nature.

Location is beautiful with great hiking / biking accessible right from the campsite. Individual sites are big with lots of space, and separation from other sites. Only downside to campground is that it's at the end of the Hope road and very accessible from Anchorage for a day trip. On a sunny weekend you get lots of people making the trip out, and without any control on campground access, everyone seems to use it as a turnaround, or just wants to pass through to see what it is like. They'll drive to the end of the road, follow the one way road around the campground loop, and head back towards Hope. What this means is it feels like there is an endless stream of cars that pass through the campground starting in late morning, and lasting until 8-9pm. We were nervous for kids playing, or trying to ride bikes around the campground. Otherwise, place is awesome.

There is lots of room between campsites and it is beautiful there. We had fun hiking on trails and found some great shops and restaurants in Hope. The Dirty Skillet was a lot of fun - great music, food, and atmosphere.

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.

- 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.
