Such a pleasant camping experience. Sites are spacious and well equipped. We had an amazing trip to the park and our camping experience made it all the wonderful. We'll be back.

We booked the last day of the season. There were barely any sites occupied but we were placed next to a couple in a van, so seemed odd I couldn't book any other site with so much vacancy for some space. Closer bathrooms were closed. Showers ran out of propane so no heat, so no shower when we were hoping to shower. Maybe just learned a lesson not to book so close to the end of the season more than anything. The site was spacious and had a trail to the lake. Pretty at sunset before the rain came in.

No water/bathrooms at campsites even though site said it was supposed to be turned off a week later. Unbelievable

It's a very nice place to stay - all the sites are surrounded by trees and there is a lot of room around each site. The showers are pretty awful - minimal water pressure, and in need of refurbishment. The largest issue is the generator hours. You can only run generators from 8 am to 10 am, noon to 2 pm and 5 pm to 7 pm. If you are out hiking or touring you will never be able to get your battery charged in that limited time.

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.
