Great campsite, perfect location except our bear box was broken and did not have a key. When we asked for help fixing it it did not get done. We loved all the hiking and stargazing near by.

The campsites (B14 and B16) were spacious enough that it felt relatively private, even if there's nothing between camps. The lake is gorgeous. The camp store is cute. The ice cream is tasty. The bathrooms were meh--definitely older buildings so just look beat up, but they were always a little grimy. Definitely not the worst we've seen camping. I'd give everything else an A+ and a C+ for the bathrooms. I really hope NPS is funded to reinvest in things like bathroom updates again soon.

Everything was perfect.
The spot, the space, the amenities, ... and this was my first time ever camping. By myself.
Only nitpick I have is the showers aren't guy enough early in the morning.

What a gem to discover! Some sites are very close together, this one's decent except if your neighbors take the only tent pad left for you. Bonus that you can go not just for an unlimited time but unlimited days to the shower. Camp store even has a full espresso bar!

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.
