Quiet site, close to lake, beautiful scenery! Don’t think anyone was manning the location because when we got there someone else was in the spot we had reserved so we needed up in a different spot. Worked out great since there was ample spots available. Would go back for another visit.

Bathrooms were sub par. Needs cleaning and spider webs hosed down. Lots of weeds and grass growing around camp spots.

Large reserved spaces, not too crowded, great paths to walk down to the dock. We didn't have an issue finding a space on our camp site to pitch a tent (we were in space 173). The picnic table with roof came in really handy.

We understand that during the pandemic cleaning is curtailed here but the restrooms were filthy. Someone dumped something gross in the sink and it was just left there for days. Dogs visiting the campsites were not picked up after.
It is an interesting area. I think we were hoping for a little more distance or privacy from neighbors. It is our first visit to the area.

Policies & Rules

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.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.

Amenities

  • The adjacent boating site offers a paved boat launch ramp and courtesy dock when water levels are above 2,110 feet.
