We had a great time. Turquoise Lake is beautiful. The camp host was very nice and it was all very well kept. I highly recommend this location.

Horrible. I only gave one star because zero stars was not an option. Description of the camp site was not accurate in anyway what-so-ever. We could not pull our RV close to the site. The site was tiny with barely any room for a small tent. Left after one night. The worst camping experience ever. Horrible!

- 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.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
