Nice site and met host who was nice. Bathrooms clean. Would be nice to have some pics of the the sites, because some are super exposed and some have shading and more secluded. Picnic table was warped and almost unusable without resting some rocks under it. Would use DS again but would choose a few other sites below in the shade, knowing that they'd probably have more drive by traffic.

Lovely camp ground , only a 10 minute drive from the shops but you felt completely alone in the camp-ground with limited cell service (a plus for me!). The toilets were clean and the water was running well. One thing that I found odd was that the other campers were quite shy - they seemed confused when I went out of my way to smile at them and say hello just for the sake of being friendly. My friend told me this was not unusual for Riverside County so maybe I was the strange one... Anyway the scenery more than made up for it. At the end of the campsite you can join 2 different trails or you can walk across the road to see the lake (not accessible publicly by car.) Would recommend !

Location works for us visiting family in the area but the campground is in need of refurbishing. The picnic tables are wood and breaking down. The grounds are extremely rustic. There is water available and pit toilets and trash. That’s about it. If that’s all you need you will be fine but many of the sites can’t accommodate RV’s larger than maybe 25 feet.

Beautiful campground and well maintained. Used the dumpster at Vail Lake on the way out.

Nice setting, good sites though no showers, toilets, or hookups. Took a hike this time and was appalled at the horrible signage and lack of signage, and very poorly maintained trail to the springs. Was also appalled at the disgraceful condition of the host's site.

- 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.
