Everything was clean and stocked. We had a great experience, only one incident with someone from a nearby campground visiting the bathroom. We will definitely be back!!

Large area for entertaining and playing games, pavilion is great for hot days or rainy days. Volleyball and horseshoes is a bonus.
Camp host is great, very accommodating and checks in on bathrooms daily.

We have come to this site a number of years. We usually rent the group site 2. It has steadily been going down hill. This year was the worst. Bathrooms not maintained, no garbage cans to put trash into, volleyball and horseshoe areas overgrown with weeds. The pavilion was full of debris. If you go make sure to pack your own tp and take it, sense it isn't supplied and you have people stopping to use the restroom.

Only issue was people from the main camp drove over to the group site restroom constantly. Other than that great trip and campground

This campground was exactly what we wanted! Right next to a beautiful spot in the river where we could play all day and a short walk back to our site to make lunch and dinner and end the night with a camp fire. Restrooms were kept clean and stocked with toilet paper. Would love to stay here again!

- 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.
