The only bad time was when a Hugh group cam in on Nov. 22, and were in the camp sites below me and across the street from that one. They pulled branches from trees and cut branches from trees came up behind the scrubs in my site and started ripping that out to build their fires. Did the same thing the next morning. Now I went over to vail lake and bought our fire wood. That group is obnoxious.

I stayed at site 9 and recommend it -- ample space for tent on flat clear ground, site is adjacent to water spigot, and a short walk to a dumpster and outhouses, (along with the standard amenities: fire pit, picnic table).
Outhouses smelled bad for one of the mornings but were soon deodorized. Outhouses (vault toilets) were still gross, but nothing special.
Activities-wise, we hiked along some of the dripping springs trail (at the end end of the campground) and it was beautiful (more than I expected given the reviews/photos I had seen). And our main outing was a hot air balloon ride with California Dreamin (15min drive from the campsite) which I highly recommend (in winter -- better experience than summer).
No cell service at the campsite, but a few miles down the road and the cell service picks right back up. (Google Fi)

Camp host was very nice and flexible when we got there. Despite the several campsites all together we always had enough room and it was relatively quiet. Very nice for a quick weekend away.

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.
Fires & fuel
- Check fire restrictions before visiting, as wood and charcoal fires may be prohibited.
- Buy firewood locally and burn it on-site to protect California's forests.
