Site #14 was large enough for a small trailer or short motorhome. It is located next to the river and has a separate area for 1-2 tents, including a picnic table. It was a great spot for our pop-up trailer.

The sight was extremely difficult to drive it because of the rocks making the roads even smaller. The sight was NOT capable of holding/accommodating a 30ft trailer and tow vehicle. I ended up staying somewhere else and due to lack of wifi/internet or cell service I could not cancel my site. I attempted to notify the camp host but they were not there at the time. Please update the information on the site.

- 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.

- 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.

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.
