The A camping loop that we were in is very crowded. The campsite table next to us is only about 35 ft. away - very close and not too pleasant.

The camp host was wonderful. Someone was squatting in our reserved site, so the host found another solution for us. We could still see the squatters and it didn’t appear they they got in trouble as they were allowed to stay. There was no compensation offered for us, even though it did waste a bit of our time getting it sorted out. We also had a nice shaded reserved site verses the full sun one we were put in. It seems the squatters made out better than we did, and we were the ones playing by the rules.
The camp store had a decent selection. The bathrooms were kept very clean. There was always room in the garbage and recycle bins to toss our trash. The bear boxes at the sites used an oversized Allen wrench and were so easy to use verses other bear boxes that you typically see. The lake is a walkable distance and enjoyable. The dump station was closed though when we went to leave, but that was not the parks fault as a line broke.

Beautiful campground, very close to the lake which was beautiful. No big RVs, quiet, perfect for tent camping.

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.
