The relative privacy of our campsite (42) made camping especially pleasant. The lake is beautiful. We took our dog on his first camoubg adventure here, and he loved it. Woodring is beautiful. Check it out.

The campground is lovely and our lake access for the boat was quite close to our campsite. However, the site needed gravel, too much red dirt showing plus steep sides so getting down to the tent site was a little tricky. Needs some grading as well. We had a heavy rain and our tent ended up sitting in a pond. The table and fire ring area was drier so clearly needs some leveling.

it has always been a great place to camp but i hear it will only be open for 3 months instead of 7 if that is so it will be the hottest part of the year and when school is out and will make it hard to get a spot to camp in if they do that i will have to find another place to camp we have always liked it there and hope they don,t change it if they are going to change it will you please let me know

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.
