This was the worst experience that I have ever had at a COE campground due to the extreme rudeness and hostility of the host couple. It all started when I said that I would like to spend the night in one of their vacant campsites. When I told the woman that I didn't have a prior reservation she looked at me like I was from Mars. She kept saying that I had to have a reservation. I told her that I had been staying in COE campgrounds for the last 10 weeks in 7 states and that I had never once had a reservation. She kept repeating herself over and over and over. I finally told her that I had heard her the first 5 times. I asked if there were vacant sites and she said that there were. I asked her which ones were vacant and she told me to drive down there and figure it out myself. This is what I did and I paid for the site using the Recreation.gov phone app. I wasn't in the site even 15 minutes before the husband was banging on my door demanding to know if I had paid for this site. I told him that I had only been here maybe 15 minutes, but that I had indeed paid for the site. I asked him if he wanted to see the email confirmation and he said that he didn't care about anything that I had. He then started yelling at me. Apparently his wife had called him and told him that I didn't have a prior reservation. He kept yelling and was extremely rude and hostile. I finally asked him to stop yelling. The whole experience was unbelievable. I was going to spend a few days there, but instead I got up early the next morning and got out of there as fast as I could. I've been staying in COE campgrounds for years and I've never ever encountered anything like these two hosts. I never have reservations because I'm never sure of where I'll be or when I'll be there. I've been doing this for years and I've never had a problem. Even here, they had open sites and I chose and paid for one in less than 15 minutes. This disgraceful behavior by this host couple was totally uncalled for.

- 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.
