The camp sites and the lake are great. We stayed at 37 and all the close sites were unoccupied which was nice. Site was clean and good size. Water access within walking distance. My only peeve was that check-in is at 4:00, but when we arrived at 4:30 someone was still leaf blowing our site and all the sites on that peninsula. Not a huge deal, we got ourselves oriented while he leaf blowed and then set up. The next day, at 12:00 we went for one last hike near the dam. When we returned around 1:45 we swam and we were packing up our car with our last few items when parking attendants pulled up. They remarked they thought we "went missing" and said "You know check-out is three, right?". Yes, we were ten minutes behind, but this was on a Monday with no reservations on that site after we left. We assured them our campsite was empty (and it was) and promptly left. It rubbed me the wrong way that the camp wasn't ready when we arrived, yet we were hurried out by attendants when there was no one coming after us. It seems like they want you to show up late and leave early. Otherwise it was a great experience and I would like to come back.

I don’t ever leave reviews but this one is needed. We stayed at the group tent site. I can say that you can’t see the water but it does have a beautiful Mountain View. The area was clean and the hosts were very nice and respectful. It needs to mention that there is a steep climb to get to your camp area. If you are allergic to bees, please don’t get the group camp area. There are hundreds of yellow jackets but they may fix that soon since people were there to help improve the campground.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

  • 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.
