Loved the campground. Sites were spacious! We were able to use solar. I was surprised that a shower was $5 and even more surprised to see how filthy they were.

Fantastic campground with lots of amenities like a camper store with hot meals and a nice shower facility too. This particular site is towards the start of the loop, so a bit exposed, but that didn’t bother us. Lots of space and close to the bathroom and water.

Campsite was clean and large. Water spigot and bathrooms were both nearby (C05). Location is beautiful, and the camp store showers were great. The lake is a short walk or drive from the campsite. The campground itself has no cell service but the nearby Loomis Plaza has service if you need it. Quick access to the scenic highway that has lots of trails and viewpoints. The lake itself is great for kayaking, with lots of bird watching opportunities. The trail around the lake is easy to join at the edge of the campground.

The campground is large but does not feel crowded. We stayed on weekdays in July. Surprisingly no issues with mosquitoes. It is well maintained with showers as a nice option. It's a great location with easy access to the lake.

This is our favorite campground and favorite NP. Campground is very developed, so do not expect to be really “close to nature” there, but there are hot showers, a shop that sells ice and some food, and a cafe. There is also a lake that rents SUPs and kayaks. The campsites are on a bigger side, most of them have some shade, and all of them have a firering, a bearbox and a table with benches. Loop D at the campground is tent only, which means that there would be no noisy RV generators right next to you. If you prefer it on the quieter side try to come during tge week. On a weekend most likely there would be some music.

Unfortunately my site was next to the bathrooms. The problem was that a lot of other campers would walk right through the middle of my campsite instead of walking on the road to get to the bathrooms. People don't respect boundaries. Lesson learned. I won't select a campsite that is near anything others might want to get to.

  • 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.
