Great facility. We had our church Sunday school picnic at galt’s ferry pavilion and it was great. Great views of the lake. It was all we wanted with covered pavilion, picnic tables, horse shoes, rest rooms, running water, electricity and beach.

My family and I rented the shelter on Easter. Super friendly staff!! The shelter was clean and offered electricity. The park was pretty and well maintained, but the bathrooms were absolutely filthy. Toilets were clogged, toilet paper was all over the floors, the stench was awful and no hand soap was available.

Galts Ferry Landing pavilion is a great place to have a large group event. The pavilion is covered, has grills, and is close to the bathrooms, parking and the beach.

- 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.

- 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.

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