Nice little camp ground in the forest. We enjoyed our 5 days and it was very quiet. We will go again for sure.

Great spot to camp. Our young family of 5 stayed at campsite 12 and loved it. The kids enjoyed climbing the rocks, clean bathrooms and space to roam. We would stay here again.

Beautiful campground. Lots of trails to hike. I love that there are trails for all from easy to difficult. I also love that cell signal coverage is good and it is so close to shopping and conveniences while being so secluded. My new favorite campground!

Quiet. Very nice toilets ( compostable ). Close enough to town to make a run in convenient, but far enough out to feel like you are in a bit of wilderness.

Arrival & departure
- 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.
