The pin location on rec.gov shows the campsite on the north side of the road - across from the main campground. When we arrived at this location the gate was locked. We ended up having to drive down the road to another campground for the weekend. While we had fun, it was disappointing we didn't get to use the campsite we paid for.

Site is gorgeous, obviously no complaints about what nature provided. But the camp host--I would like to recognize him. He has a cell booster to use for emergencies, which was a big relief when the people I was meeting there were hours late. He mostly kept to himself, but when the kids went on a solo exploration mission, the came back with coloring pages and activities. Good guy, keeps things in order and clean. Thank you!!

- 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.
