Site #042
The campsite was lovely, had a huge table, bear-safe food container, enough space for a 6 person tent and a metal pit for lighting firewood. It was quiet and peaceful at night.
The only thing which bothered me was it was too far from everything. The nearest gas station was ~1.15 hour away and the road was very winding. I did spend sometime at the lake, but it is very rocky and not much to do around unless you bring your canoe/kayak/boat. I could not find any good hiking trails also nearby.

These were the cleanest vault toilets I’ve ever experienced! There was a very nice and helpful groundskeeper selling firewood. There is a hiking trail down to the lake near campsite 11(very steep and rocky). The campground site provides a wooden picnic table, fire pit and a bear box as well as running water near the bathrooms. We had a great time. I recommend making a reservation. It was very busy Friday and Saturday. Sunday night was pretty empty. We saw a doe walk through our campground during breakfast. There are probably other wild life nearby as well!

Such a great campsite! So quiet out in the middle of nowhere! Cheery lake is soo clear and refreshing 😌 the walk from campsite #10 is uphill otherwise you can drive 5 minutes to the boat dock area. JJ and his dog zeke were incredibly welcoming πŸ™πŸΌ couldn't ask for a better place!

  • 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.
