Stopped for a quick visit with family.
Campsite was clean and visibly pleasing.
Don't expect the sites to be "level", bring what you need to get your RV horizontal

Heavy smoke from a nearby prescribed fire was really bad and made an otherwise great location really unpleasant. I left after one night and probably should have left before ever setting up camp. Not sure if there is a way I could have learned about the fire in advance, but it would have been helpful.

Great campsite. Easily accessible. Sone of the flush toilets are out of order, but plenty of pit toilets. Sone of the drinking water spigots are out, but still enough to go around. The camper store (open 8a-8p) has all the basics you would need. The showers at the camper store are a nice added amenity. There’s laundry as well. Don’t count on cell reception although there is enough to get texts or a call through at mile marker 14 on the main road through the park, a few minutes from the campground)

Filthy bathrooms, garbage cans over flowing at the camp store, sites are close together, camp store inattentive and uncaring. Not a good experience and for all of the fees, not worth it. $30 to get into the park, $35 per night, $8 to dump, $5 to shower, $10 for firewood. Had been here about ten years ago and it was nicer. Probably won't ever go back.

It would have been nice, but they were doing a prescribed burn right next to the campground. The air was unbreathable - unhealthy and dangerous. It was shocking to me that they didn’t evacuate the campground. There was no way we could stay there, so we left. Very disappointing.

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.
