Camp host very nice people. I like that area very much, except the water pump was broken.

Nice quiet campground, not easy to find since most street signage is for the lake. Disappointed that our site was not level, so much so that our automatic stabilizers gave up.

The neighboring campsite burned unsafe and foul smelling garbage. The neighboring campsite had more than the allowed number of people and cars. They stayed up late playing loud music despite being asked to quiet down by four separate people. We had to leave early due to the noise and excessive smoke. My daughter’s birthday camping trip was ruined. The park rangers were notified and spoke to the group but this did not change the inappropriate behavior. The restroom was not cleaned and was very unpleasant to use.

We reserved the Amphitheater for a large adult birthday celebration. There is no cooking or shade facilities so we got there early and was able to snag the Bobcat area. We used the parking reservations and had an excellent day. All staff was wonderful to work with and were very accommodating. Thank you for making my Father's birthday special!

- Reserved sites are held until the day after your arrival, but must be occupied by checkout time to avoid forfeiture. Reservations cannot be modified after the start date.
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.
