The campsite was nice. The host and crew were very friendly. Bathrooms were well maintained. We stayed for 3 nights. My son caught his first fish in the Honeymoon pool. Also close to many off-road trails. Took the family to the top of Bald mountain. We would strongly recommend a stay here. We will be back for sure.

Only downside to campsite 49 is that it didn't have too much shade during the day time.
Camp site 50 was about 50 yards down a hill, which makes it secluded but a b**** to take your gear down and back up. Also a lot of meat bees constantly in your business.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

- 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.
