My campsite was joined to another by a shared parking area. The folks in the adjacent site had a huge 5th wheel that loomed over our campsite, and made us feel like we had no privacy. Their generator was extremely loud and was on for the entire time except 9pm - 5am. I would not recommend this campground for those camping in tents. The views of the mountains were beautiful, but it was hard to fully enjoy with all the generator noise.

The campsite is great, spacious and opens out towards Granite Mountain area. It’s a double site so you have room for two tents. We saw some deer in the evening and something bigger visited our tent in the night. We didn’t see what animal it was but it wasn’t a deer, it left on its own after a while. I definitely encourage anyone staying here to be aware of the animals in the area, and be prepared. There was also an INSANE amount of red and black ants all over the site so be ready for that. We have a nice time and would come back again in the future.

Loved this place! Spent my first solo camping trip here and had a very pleasant experience. It rained a ton but the tent pad space didn't flood or collect a lot of water. The bathrooms smelled great (love the composting toilets)! The lake is a 2 mi walk down the road and it was totally worth seeing- very pretty. I had enough service (TMobile) to make phone calls and text but websites wouldn't load haha- which is fine, you're camping. It's a rather small campground but felt cozy and safe, would definitely go again.

- 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.

- 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.
