We booked an electric site so we could run our A/C all night during the heat wave. The 30 Amp would only supply about 8 Amps at 110V. The 50 Amp was a little better, I think I was able to get 10 Amps. It ran our AC but just barely.

The campground was beautiful, but there was an issue where several power posts in Loop D went out throughout the night, including mine.

DO NOT STAY HERE. There are no tree whatsoever, it’s hot, there’s no shelter, and you can’t even drive up to your campsite. I felt like I was going to get bit by a rattlesnake the entire time. They have no business charging any money for this campsite. We showed up and immediately left and drove back up to Taylor park. Those campsites are better, cheaper, and easier to access.

Policies & Rules
Arrival & departure
- All watercraft must be inspected for invasive species before launching.
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.
