Clean and quiet. Great views and spaced far apart. We were in #25. No shade. #24 and 23 had big trees and shade. Other sites near the restrooms and entrance were closer together and had more noise. Restrooms and sites well maintained. Camp host sells firewood and very friendly. Very scenic trail nearby that you enter from the campground. That trail then connects with other trails. I suggest researching them before you go. Everything else requires driving- Lake Arrowhead Village, Lake Gregory, and other trails. Some trails require parking pass, which you can purchase at Jensen's stores and other locations. Jensens also has almost everything else you need in case you forget something or want to buy local. We went midweek, so traffic was light. Also, site #25 bear box/storage was awkwardly facing away from you and towards the bushes and was difficult to access. We noticed that the camp trash bin was full and not bear proof, so you may not need to store food in June anyway. No squirrels seen, either.

Nice campground. Site 20 is not as secluded as it seems on the map and has no shade. If you stay on this site bring a shelter otherwise you will bake. Good during the winter. Host not as friendly as expected. Campground in some need of updates and improvements. Nice hikes from end of the campground.

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.
