The site didn’t have water which we knew in advance but the amount of drive through traffic was really surprising. Non-stop cars/trucks seemed to drive in to the end and then loop back out without ever setting up at a camp site. Far less relaxing than other places we’ve camped. We loved the lake but I would explore other options if we planned to return.

Great location with nice campsites. Need to fix the water issue! A dump would be nice. Time to upgrade the bathroom. Good fishing, but crowded. Great hiking and biking. Overall a wonderful place to camp.

We enjoyed our campsite. The fishing is great. Unfortunately the days we were there it was very rainy (6/24-6/25). The area is beautiful and the bathrooms are kept very clean. We loved that there is a trash can available on site. There is no cell phone service at these sites (T-mobile).
The only inconvenience we experienced was that we had to move from our campsite. We had only reserved for 1night, Thursday. Because we were told, by a Ranger(we called to verify), that the camp sites were first come first serve on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We paid to spend Friday night, since we were already at the site we figured we were first. Later in the day the campsite ranger asked us to move because someone else had reserved our spot. When we asked how if the spots are first come first serve? (Since we had called and verified with a ranger.) The campsite ranger explained to us that some areas are first come first serve and others are by reservation only. He also mentioned that due to new staffing this has happened frequently. Even though it was an inconvenience to have to move, the ranger was very helpful in finding us another site close by.

- 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.
