We stayed 6/7/21, site 008. There was a 6x10 patch of snow a foot or so from our fire ring. Still cool and definitely needed extra blankets in our tent. The campground is on split between both sides of the road, site 008 is creek side, plenty of trees to put our hammock. The camp host, David, came over to introduce himself. We were not expecting it given the chill but there were a lot of gigantic horseflies that flocked to our tent, we sprayed the tent with repellent. Very clean restrooms although we use luggable loo overnight. We plan to return but will plan for later June/July due to overnight temps. We reserved the spot in late January 2021, by then the spots were already taken, so you have to plan early.

Excellent campsite! I was bummed out by the fire ban, but we still had a great time! I particularly loved the creek/stream/river running through the campground!

Site is beautiful. Each camp site feels very secluded and hidden by trees. Sites 10, 11 & 12 are great. Near the creek which was fun for the kids. Only issue was the campsites were downhill from the parking spaces so bringing gear was a little difficult, but not too bad. Mosquitoes were pretty bad, so bring bug spray!

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.
