The water supply is low, there for the bathrooms were closed, which no communication was made by website, email, or at check in. 2 port-a-potties for 2 loops. If I had known ahead of time plans could have been made.
Bear boxes are needed to store food properly.

We were not notified ahead of our trip that the well was not working properly. So flushing toilets were not available. Showers at the Inn were not available. Water was labeled non-potable. So we had to boil or purchase water for $4/gal. Because of the no flushing toilets the pit toilets were filling quickly. Yellow jackets were out in full force. Pack a trap. You will thank me for that later.

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.
