The camp host was great. There was an issue with someone else in our campsite and they handled it quickly for us.

The Bertie was great but the river had too many rafters that go down it and there weren’t any fish because of them.

The campsite is absolutely beautiful if you don't mind walking a short distance to your campsite. More shade than lots of other sites with great river access, including some beach areas, depending on the water level.

The site is fine. It's a bit primitive, but not totally. Right next to the river which is awesome.
My real issue is that I find working through reserve America a bit like trying to get Taylor swift tickets through ticket master.

Hard to see the map and get back to selecting dates; plus always the one I want that had been open 5 minutes before is no unavailable and I have to get the non handycap spot, watching some young family with toddlers get it instead of the dude in the wheel chair.

Awesome little campground! This spot may be tricky to back into for some bigger trailers, but is plenty big once you’re lined up and everything. Beautiful little trail back to the river and an area to put some chairs and just relax listening to the water. I didn’t mind being right next to the road, but can see how it may annoy some people at night with bright car lights.

The site was great and our camp host was super friendly. The river provided a noice ambiance as our neighbors belched the night away. Truly unforgettable

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

  • Campsites must be occupied within 26 hours of reservation start; otherwise, they may be rented out.

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.
