The campground area is very nice. Concrete pads and easy access to back into the sites. The bathroom facilities are okay. We were only there for one night as we were heading back to Pennsylvania. The morning that we left there was a bad thunderstorm that dropped well over an inch of rain. The water runoff was coming right through our site, and I had to tear down in about 3 to 4 inches of standing water. For the price for the night, I would stay again. The wife liked the concrete picnic table and the overall site. Solid 4 stars out of 5.

Site 20. Level with a slight water collecting area near the front of the site. Bathrooms were clean. It was very cold.

It’s always quiet, beautiful and plenty of space between sites, with big old native trees. There’s lots of bird life and other wildlife. Our dogs love the open areas and the walks we do. This is one of our favorite spots in the U.S. to spend a quiet few days.

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.
