Lovely secluded spot away from everything, but still not too far from visitor center and supply store just in case

There are 9 tent only spots at this camping ground but # 1/2/3 are closed. No water/ showers. Had 2 vault toliets w/o sinks near site 5. # 4/5 and 8/9 are side by side. 6 and 7 are a little secluded.
We camped at site 8. $20 for the night but you will also need to buy a park pass or check out a free libary park pass.Pass is 25$ for a wk or 55$ for yr pass. Our site had 2 bear boxes, 2 tables, 2 poles for lanterns and fire pit w grill. Campsites were kinda small. But we were right nxt to a creek. Might be good for fishing. Its only catch and release w barbless hooks may - Sept. There's A lot of black berry bushes blocking the creek but there are little trails to creek in front of 6 7 8. # 6 trail looked a little over grown. We stoped at the Visitor center. You can buy park pass there. We really enjoyed the lake.

Great campground, it would be nice if the park's department would trim the blackberry bushes on the small trails to the stream, but otherwise clean, stocked bathrooms, clean camp sites... I'm definitely going back!!!

- 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.
