Summary
Boundary Creek Campground offers a clean and orderly environment, featuring well-maintained vaulted toilets and ample running water. Many visitors appreciate the easy reservation process and the nearby first-come, first-serve sites, as well as the scenic trails like the one to Dagger Falls. However, some guests have expressed concerns about disruptive behavior from new rafting visitors and noted that access roads can be bumpy.

Gorgeous area! Expect bumpy dirt roads to get there, and look for the elk early in the morning in the big meadow.

Could not get to campsite due to road closures. Site is very rural and the first two attempts I made were unsuccessful. Found a ranger that informed me I needed to take a third and longer detour (2-3 hours) to get to site. I did not attempt as it was getting dark and I am unfamiliar with the area. Found a roadside campsite for the night instead.

Policies & Rules
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.
