Quiet. Restrooms were kept clean. Nice hiking trail with a trailhead in the campground.

On the way into the campground, we were a little concerned when we noticed how close it seemed to be to the residential area and the hospital. But once you are in the campground, you realize that it backs up to vast forested areas and a hiking trail with beautiful vistas. You really don't hear much road noise at all, although a helicopter did land at the hospital one evening.
There were enormous pine trees and oak trees surrounding the campsite (we were in site 19) so plenty of shade during peak sun hours of the day. Lots of birds and squirrels, and we did cross paths with a little skunk on one of the trails outside the campground. Each site has it's own bear box, and we felt better about putting food items and cooking supplies in there at night. We've never encountered bears while camping, but we've definitely had raccoons and other critters get into our food supplies on other camping trips. The restrooms were clean and have regular flush toilets and there was a potable water spigot very close to our site. From inside the campground there are a couple of different places to hike up to where you can see views of Lake Arrowhead and the North Shore Trailhead offers a beautiful, fairly easy hike with amazing views.
Our camp host was very friendly and had helpful suggestions for activities outside the campground. We were able to purchase firewood from the host and he very graciously loaned us an item we accidentally left at home and couldn't find in town. It's about a 5-10 minute drive into the village for groceries, ice or other activities. We stayed for 2 nights, and would have stayed an extra night if we had been able. All in all, it was a great place to camp and we would definitely camp here again!

We had site 21 and it was perfect. We had 3 tents on site and had more than enough space. This campground was clean, quiet, and the host was super friendly and knowledgeable! We went to lake Gregory and had a great time. Definitely want to come back here.

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.
