Great place to stay for exploring this part of the woods and Hetch-Hetchy! There are tons of forest roads around for exploring the general area, the campground itself is lovely, and the lake is close enough to walk there in well under 10 minutes. The host here was great, one of my favorites of all time; friendly, knowledgable about the area (nooks + crannies to explore), and actually in love with the outdoors. Bear in mind you're an hour away from almost anything except for forests :)

The drive was a little ominous, but worth it once you get there! The lake is absolutely beautiful and the campground was great! 10/10 recommend!

So I’ve stayed at many campsites and thought the past reviews of winding roads seemed a bit exaggerated. It truly wasn’t a exaggeration so if you tend to get motion sickness I don’t recommend.
Campsite was very clean and maintained. Never met anyone while I was there seemed to be empty when leaving.
This is what made our stay absolutely horrible… Yellowjackets and bumble bees! We couldn’t do anything without being swarmed. When we even tried to cook they started to become aggressive and began to attack as we packed up. I was stung repeatedly. We just packed and left to another campsite. Horrible experience.

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.
