I camped with a group of middle school Girl Scouts, and we had a great time. Fortunately, we were warned when we made our reservation that we'd have to provide our own water. We brought plenty, but trying to balance bringing enough water with having space for other things was our biggest challenge. The long dirt road to the campground had us reconsider our plan to hike at Pine Valley Ranch Park, but we still went, and the park was wonderful. We would definitely consider camping here again.

Our second year here with our group. It was quite nice, good hosts, nice flat campsite spaces, easy access to trails. The only downsides weren't the fault of the site--a neighboring campsite had some huge loud booming bass party ALL NIGHT LONG our first night. (our camp hosts with the help of the Sheriff closed the party down much earlier the next night). And it rained a lot on Saturday. But fun was still had by all--and it makes a better story anyway!

The campsite was located in some very beautiful woods, and was worth the drive! Unfortunately all of the sites were very close together and there wasn’t a lot of privacy. Additionally, many of the sites, including ours, were located on hills with no flat spaces to place tents.

Lovely hosts and very nice campground, as long as you're prepared for no running water. The nearby creek is fun, lots of nice hikes nearby (of varying lengths). Bathrooms were clean, but there were a lot of flies.

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.
