Beautiful, clean, uncrowded campground with campsites that backed up to natural forest rather than other campsites.

there needs to be a campground map showing each site. I was unable to reserve on mon or tue but able to reserve for thursday. Your host had no record of my reservation. I wish you were open all year.

Very nice campsite! I stayed by myself and the host was very welcoming and made me feel safe. Each site seems pretty spread out to give a sense of privacy while staying in the community. Beach access area was beautiful as well!! Will definitely be back with friends!

- 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.
