The host is not a friendly person. He doesn't like dogs and was very rude to me and my friends for no reason. He said I didn't pay for an extra vehicle but I did. We ask where do we drop the money off at and he said "look it up on google". There's no service out there! Made us stress out for no reason. Never coming back.

Our family really enjoyed this location. We had site 8 and its proximity to both the water and the bathrooms and dumpster were super convenient. The water felt wonderful during the 95°+ days. There were a pair of bald eagles just across the water in the trees and we got to see them fly back and forth several times. Many people jet skied, boated, and swam throughout the day. The sites were fairly level and have pull through options. Our T-Mobile cells worked reasonably well.
The reason for the four star review is the dumpster was filled to overflowing when we got there Sunday. There were seven bags of garbage on the ground next to it since no more would fit in. It was emptied in Wednesday so it got progressively dumpier until that point. Additionally the vault toilets had a pretty strong smell outside the actual bathroom. Finally, the spots are right up against one another so there’s not much in the way of privacy. We had great neighbors this time so no worries but that’s something to consider.
Overall we would definitely stay here again. Do bring bug spray because the gnats are outta control.

- 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.
