Summary
AI generated
Camp Richardson's Badgers Den offers a beautiful location with convenient access to the beach, restaurants, and activities, making it a cherished spot for many visitors. Most reviewers highlighted the cleanliness of the campgrounds and the friendliness of the staff, with some enjoying amenities like the ice cream shop and bike rentals. However, issues such as noise from fellow campers and inadequate bathroom supplies were noted, along with challenges related to bear safety and enforcement of quiet hours, suggesting room for improvement in management.
Campsite has a lot of great amenities, but overall it was just okay. The bathroom were some of the worst I’ve ever experienced and we camp a lot. Most of my complaints were with the other campers who do not bother to follow any of the rules about bears and leave their campsites unattended with food everywhere and dump all their trash in the bathroom instead of the bear bins. This part is not the campsites fault but the bathrooms were so bad that I ended up using porta potties at the start of hikes instead.
The bear problem continues to worsen. Among the three bears that consistently pester campers, one is particularly aggressive and may require bear spray.
Wonderful place to stay, close to the beach, parks and Fallen Leaf Lake. If you don't mind no privacy between campsites this is a great place to enjoy what South Lake has to offer.

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.

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.
