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.

Site 74 was more private than other sites. Plenty of space and shade. Despite signs put in place by campground, we had a number of people walking through our site to get to the beach. Some apologised, some didn’t. Bears were active throughout our stay. For such a large campground there were not many toilets/taps. But overall, woukd stay here again, less than 5 minutes walk to the beach.

We stayed in site #10 & behind this site is a trail that's a short cut to Camp Richardson Beach. People walk thru your site at all times of the day & evening. Kids on bikes, adults with kids in wagons, large groups of teenagers. Please change the route or block off the trail. It's very annoying. I'd never stay in that site again.

Very peaceful campsite area not crowded like the several ones we drove past. Site 40 very close to the restroom. Several bear sightings especially at night please dont be afraid of them, it's natural and just keep your food where you're supposed to keep them. Cant wait to come back

There was garbage all over our site, especially pieces of water balloons. I was grateful for the restrooms and showers but they were in filthy condition.

We had some extremely rude neighbors, they were asked to leave around 1 AM, thanks for that.

We did enjoy the short walk to the lake and ice cream.

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.
