It's was so nice at JFK. The rest of the world was so hot but JFK felt nice.

I was disappointed when we got there and found out my sight didn't have water on it. I tried to change to another sight on line as there were several others open but the web site kept saying there were no available sites. I wish the camp host at the check station was able to help with site rentals.

We tent camped at D12 for two nights. We really enjoyed our camping experience and learned to put all food items in the car because a raccoon raided our food box during the night. We loved seeing the geese on the river amidst fog from the cold water meeting the warm humid air.

Overall, it is a wonderful place to camp. Cell signal can be sketchy. Also, a lot of trees have been taken down on the lower level, which has removed the shade from previously shady campsites. It remains one of my favorite places to camp, regardless!

- 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.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
