Gorgeous campsite! Tent sites 10, 11, and 12 are right next to the small stream, giving them instant tranquillity. A wonderful place to camp.
The camp host was also very nice. Highly recommended!

Great, clean campground! Very easy to get to, roads are completely clear. The only thing was our campsite did not have room for two cars which we did not realize until we got there. Luckily the people in the site next to us were super nice and did have a space where we could park one of our cars! Just know that spots 9-12 are not drive up spots and do only come with one parking spot each, and you’ll have to walk your gear over to the tent pad.

Beautiful area! This site was secluded, shady most of the day, and very decently sized. Main road noise was minimal. Bathroom was nice and clean. Maybe it was an off weekend for the camp host, but he gets a D rating from me because our fire ring was not cleaned out upon our arrival and he had no firewood all weekend. Nor did he offer any advice as to where we may be able to get some.

Policies & Rules

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.
