Camp host is already retired. You guys just do not know it. Saw him once during a four night stay. Ill informed and looked like he would rather be somewhere else. Campground still has no water - after 4 years, I think. Something about a busted pipe. One would thing that even the USFS could fix a broken pipe in four years.

Wonderful lake with stream flowing into the lake. The loop of campsites was not too big and we enjoyed the hiking and biking. There are first come first serve that were mostly empty during 4th of July weekend! About a third to half of the paid sites did not show as well which was nice but wish more people could enjoy the beautiful setting. Yes, we will be back.

Beautiful lake. We loved the trails along the shoreline. There's a nice waterfall less than a mile from the campground. Vault toilets were well-maintained and zero-odor. Our fellow campers were friendly and quiet. We all had a terrific time!

I have been camping here for several decades and it never fails to please. The campground host Don is very friendly and works hard to keep the campground clean, and the vault toilets smelling pretty. His effort is verymuch appreciated! My only complaint which no one can do anything about, is regarding the horrendous mosquito population which made sitting outside at dusk nigh impossible. I highly recommend a screened in tent so you and your family can enjoy being outside and not have to douse yourselves with DEET or get eaten alive!

Beautiful quiet campsite. Well-kept bathrooms and very happy to see the water level so high.

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.
