Love this campground but there was a controlled burn during the winter. There is zero shade anymore and burn spots all over. We still enjoyed our stay …. We’ve come for years. In a few years it will be beautiful again!

Its a lovely campground with good privacy betwen sites. It was windy so limited our campfires. Very windy Spring, everywhere on our trip. Our Verizon service was intermittent, one day not too bad and the next, non existent. Everything was clean, sites raked, bathrooms well taken care of. Beautiful sunsets, deer and birds.

Lots of space within the site and between sites, very clean bathrooms! Close to town…just in case, but you feel out in the wild!

This is a quiet small campground. And close to the lake is a bonus.

- A campsite must have at least one person present the first night and equipment cannot be left unattended for more than 24 hours.
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.
