VerifiedAugust 14, 2020 • Stayed at: 005, Loop: RIVER SIDE (BOISE)
The campsites were filled with small bits of trash. The bathrooms were out of toilet paper for 2 of the 4 days. Our ranger seemed overworked and grumpy. We had exceptionally obnoxious neighbors and camp rules were not adhered to by all of the other campers at the site (i.e. quiet hours, dogs off leash and roaming the campground). There was also shooting going off from another location each night between 10 pm and midnight. There was frequent non campsite visitors to the bathroom with a lot of ATV traffic. The location of the campsite, next to the calm river at the opening of the reservoir was a beautiful place to stay and I enjoyed kayaking in the calmer waters.

We had three spots reserved. Only one spot was marked and the other two had people in them. No camp host and no ranger. We all jammed into one spot hoping to get it fixed the next day. No ranger or host the next day half our party had to leave due to space issue. Then the next day we left early due to it. Tried calling but had issues with over a hour wait times and such.

Beautiful campsite with easy access to the lake. It was relaxing and peaceful, but it's a long, dusty, bumpy road to get there. Be prepared.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

- 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.

- 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.
