It is sad that all the campgrounds are reserve only. I understand that this is in response to the severity of understaffing in the parks now. I guess this is life until we dump our current national administration.

We had a nice stay other than the 2 evenings when a large group in the tent loop started singing; this went on for over an hour or two. Not exactly how I like to enjoy a quiet evening around my campfire.

Loved the lake and the fact that you could rent kayaks on site. Some cell service is only thing I can think of to improve on. You can get Wifi at the museum, but it's kind of a pain to go back and forth there daily. Camp sites were nice and it's the first camp ground I've stayed at where there is usually hand soap in the bathrooms.

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.
