We love this peaceful, beautiful place! The camp hosts, Edith and Felix Gallardo, are probably the best in the country! They work, morning to night, ensuring cleanliness of the sites, the bathrooms, the shared spaces. They carry out work projects to improve the campground, such as updating the horseshoe pit, clearing dead tree limbs, installing tent pads, etc. They are on constant alert to any unwanted behavior that might endanger campers, such as 'visitors' who fail to follow speed limits, any potential wildlife alerts, etc. Bring your binoculars, a comfy chair, your fishing pole, a good book, or a hammock and just relax!

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

Your reservation will be held until check-out time the day after your arrival. If not occupied, it will be forfeited without a refund.

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.
