My first camp trip was to North Shore in mid-2018. I didn't have any issues with it then because I didn't have anything to compare it with. Since then I have camped 10 or so times. So I came back this year (2020) and I was kinda shocked at how bad it was. Specifically, the roads in the campground are in need of major repair, most of the sites have no shade and most don't have level spots for tents. The number signs for each campground are faded to the point you can't read some of them. The trail in the campground is the only saving grace. Also, if you like completely hands-off hosts, then this is the place for you. One other saving grace was the bathrooms were half way decent (flush).

Campsite 10 was pretty central to the water spigot as well as the bathrooms, it meant slightly more traffic past your site, but it's to be expected. Pick another site if you want something more private. Also it was close the the hiking trail entrance. Plus the site had okay shade in the morning and evening. Mid-day tho if you're at the campsite, a canopy/shelter would be best. No one was there to check us in but we had no problem finding our site and it was ready for us. Was not able to buy firewood since no attendant was there that we saw. Campsites in general seem to be spaced apart well. Too bad Lake Arrowhead is private, still dont understand that. But at least Lake Gregory is only 20 mins drive away. Check Lake Gregory website tho as they are not fully operational right now due to Covid. Hiking trail branches off into diff parts, some are fire roads, some are trails and there's moderate incline in spots. Overall a nice site and would go back to again!

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.
