What Guests Are Saying
Visitors enjoyed the campground and praised the park service, noting it as a favorite spot for family gatherings. However, there were issues with accessing the gate and restrooms due to a reservation mix-up, which caused delays. A notable downside was the inability to have campfires.

We were given a combination to unlock the gate, but the lock required a key. We called park HQ and they had no record of our reservation. It took an hour to get the gate unlocked. Then we discovered the restrooms were all locked. Ugh. Nice otherwise.

Great area. Close to the water and a lot of room for all our tents. Other than having to tell kayakers and boaters to leave it was great. Rangers and deputy were helpful. Would definitely do it again.

Great place but random people may drive through the area and even attempt to camp at your campsite. They tried to deter this by closing the gate and providing a lock code, but people will forget to lock it and transients will still come by.

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.
- 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.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
