Very nice campground. Easy to find and get to, large though not very private sites. Clean and well maintained pit toilets, potable well water and dumpsters for trash. All sites are very very close to the North Fork of the North Fork - which is more of a creek than a river at that point but there are some beautiful swimming holes up and down stream within a 10 min walk either direction. Some off-trail hiking opportunities in the area.

This place is magical. Great swimming holes, jump rocks, and wading pools. Campsites are well shaded most of the day and each site is quite large so you’re not too close to your neighbors. Can’t wait to get back!

- 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.
