The men’s part of the restroom next to site 187 was closed the whole time. The women’s side had not been cleaned and was unsanitary. Although there weren’t many using the camp, the situation should have been remedied much sooner. Everything else was great and the host was friendly and helpful.

April stay. Very busy with a lot of people running diesel powered generators causing noxious smell. Quite a few ATVs and dirt bikes causing a lot of noise. Would not stay here this time of year again. Had stayed in Jan and it was very quiet and beautiful.

Three things bothered us on our trip.
1. We always go with friends so making reservations (or FCFS) we were unable to get next to each other. Closest we could get was across the street from each other. I do not like the alternating reserve and FCFS.
2. Generator time was from 6:00am to 10:00pm and people ran them constantly during that time. Would like it if there was a No generator section so we don't have to hear it so well. Would love to sit outside and hear the birds not someone watching TV or running refrigerators.
3. Would love a way for handicap people to fish if they don't have a boat. There is just no way to get to the shoreline to do this.
However the place was nice and I would go back but never on the weekend.

- 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.
