We took our jack russell / beagle mix dog camping on 11/4/23 in national forest and he just vanished. We thought he was killed by a mountain lion. Ten days later we got a call from the Emmett Ranger District saying they had found our dog starving and dehydrated, but alive. They gave him a sandwich and kept him safe until we could come get him. We'll be forever grateful to these folks for saving the life of our little guy!

We loved it here. Problem is you can't get reservations any more because of the people who are booking in mass & reselling. This is not fair!!

We had our family reunion there. It was a very nice campsite that had nice water access. Plenty of room. Our own bathrooms and water pump was fantastic.
There were a few people who tried camping on our paid site and the camp hosts were great about telling them to go somewhere else.
The only complaint I had was people kept walking directly through our camp ground cus of the trail. So they would cross this way and that way through our camp which was very annoying and worrisome cus of all our little kids running around. We paid $300 for that campsite so I feel like they need to make and mark the trail outside of the camp site.
Other than that it was a great stay!

I have used Emmett ranger station several times for information. They have never let me down. The staff there are friendly and you can tell they are proud of their forest. That is why I always give my registration money to gem county

Ask for Michelle at the front desk. She is amazing. She went above and beyond to answer my questions, was very knowledgeable and used all of her resources to find information. Truly a great public employee.

- 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.
