We stayed at College consecutive Thursdays in June. The bathrooms at College are amazing -- clean and well maintained. Our campsite, however, was found strewn with trash both times; not cleaned or prepared prior to our arrival either time (the reservation placard was still written for the previous occupant who had left several days earlier, so not sure a host had even been through the sites in days). The BBQ grills in our double site were broken off of both fire pits. Despite the unfortunate trash situation, College is a great place to camp.

Running water with a flushable toilet. The lake was near and stock with plenty of fish. We had a blast here.

Small campground with one flushing toilet restroom and one vault restroom. Site 9 is near the vault restroom, so it sometimes it was a little stinky. Overall, beautiful views of Huntington Lake during the daytime and stargazing at nighttime. Campsite had enough bushes and shrubs for privacy. There were plenty of water spigots around the campground.

- Reserved sites must be occupied by checkout time the day after arrival to avoid forfeiture.
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.

- 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.
