For a last minute Campsite it was fair. Didn't like that the restrooms were not too well kept on a daily but they were close to the site. Campsite # 19 had a bit of a slope. If you put your tent under the trees be ready to be have caterpillars all over it and of course spiders 🕷 (yes you are in the wilderness). T-Mobile and Verizon had good service.

Remember to bring a shovel so you can level your tent area. The land is sloped and the shovel helped a bit. Some rocks could not be moved though.
Also keep in mind you may have to walk through other camp sites to get to your car or the bathroom. So, going with groups of friends is a good idea.
All in all, we had a great time. I like that we had access to the local shops if we needed anything. The hiking was great and there is a lovely park behind the hospital as well. It was beautiful!!

The campground was clean and the host was GREAT! We aren't camping professionals, so we had quite an adventure. The road to the campground was detoured and we should've just turned around and taken the route behind the hospital. Instead, we took the next turn into the neighborhood adjacent to the campground and tried the rear maintenance road. DON'T EVER TAKE THAT ROAD. At one point I was going to leave the car there. However, in my defense, the gate had been left open and we saw people exiting. I'm guessing neighborhood kids did it.
We made it safely to the campground when I realized I forgot tent poles! The host had a spare tent, and I rushed to the local stores to buy another. Turns out no one sells tents up there except for Rite Aide, and they had 3 small 2-man tents. I bought them all!
All in all, we had a great time. I do wish parking was closer to our camp site, but luckily our friends had taken the nearby spots and didn't mind us walking through their campsites. Wasps are an issue. I loved the bear boxes and again the HOST SAVED US and was such a great person.

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.
