Campground is well-maintained and has cell service. Sections of the road leading to it are scary — it’s a narrow, unpaved road with some potholes and a steep drop to the side. Fortunately it’s pretty short, and the small size of the campground means it’s unlikely you’ll encounter other campers on that road.

Loved this campground, so peaceful and relaxing. Clean vault toilets. Close to great hiking trails. There are two trails to waterfalls nearby and hot showers at the marina for $2-3 !!!

MY overall experience staying at Peltier Bridge campground was good. The area is interesting and has a lot to offer. In my case, camping in close proximity to mountain bike trails was the goal and Peltier Bridge met that goal. I've stayed here 3 times and each time there are "squatters" who ignore the reservation system and show up late, grab a camp and then leave the next morning. I wish there was a system in place to prevent this from happening!

I made a reservation a couple of hours prior entering the park and when I got there it was closed due to a wildfire. I suppose there was no time to program the system to stop accepting reservations. So, since I was just trying to get some quiet sleep on my trip from Oregon to Arizona, I used a table at the visitors center as a bed, but it was not comfortable or quiet.

Great spot. Just myself and another couple people, had the whole campground to ourselves. Vault toilets were quite ripe. Other than that it was awesome.

Policies & Rules
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.
