The area was clean and well cared for. However, the grill needs some repair because the brackets used to raise or lower the hot coals to the upper grill have corroded to the point the metal is no longer able to support the coal plate.

Nice park, large shaded sites. Quiet. Close to town of needed. Excellent cell service.
There was one bath house for the whole park, and it WAS NOT centrally located. We happened to be in the furthest site from the bathhouse, and it's a hike.
The worst part for us was the lack of BBQ grills in the campground. They had old, huge dilapidated ground fire ring grills, but you would need a stack of fire wood to use those, if they were functional.
So we had to hike a quarter mile to the 'city park' area where typical BBQ grills were provided.
Overall I would recommend this park, especially for kids with bikes and maybe for a convenient stopover for a might or two. It is not really a VaCa destination, at least mot for me.

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.

Local regulations

  • Certain items and activities are prohibited on project lands without written permission from the District Commander.

Fires & fuel

  • Buy firewood locally and burn it on-site to protect forests from pests.

Wildlife & food storage

  • To prevent invasive species at combined facilities, clean your gear, and follow aquatic guidelines for boats.
