Overall Indian Springs is okay. If there was not the heavy sound of vehicle traffic on I-80 it would be fantastic. There’s also the occasional train horn.
Everything else was fantastic. Great site. Quiet. I didn’t even see a single mosquito.

My stay here was great! I could list dozens of positives! The only two negatives I can report are 1) the traffic noise from I-80, and 2) the presence of pine resin dripping from the trees. If you are ready to deal with these two negatives, then you will have a wonderful time here. I'd rate it 90 out of 100.

Only there one night. Nice enough campground with a nice swimming hole. Traffic on freeway doesn’t impede things during the day. But, at night, if you’re a sensitive sleeper, the freeway is a bit much.

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.
Fires & fuel
- Fire restrictions may occur due to dry weather, limiting campfires and charcoal fires. Contact the Ranger District for updates.
