Exceptionally well maintained campground. Campsites are discreetly placed to allow one to feel isolated. Clean restrooms. Good walking paths and access to the river. Camphosts pleasant and available.

Riley Creek is a hidden gem. The camp sites are level, clean, and large. The river is close, there are plenty of trails and shore line, and the bathrooms are clean. I did not try the showers but they looked to be clean also. I will definitely come back! The park rangers and volunteer camp hosts were all friendly and helpful!

We camp at Riley Creek at least once a year. It is such a great campground. Very peaceful. Nice paths to walk and ride bikes. The bathrooms/showers were clean and greatly appreciated.
My only complaint is that it is difficult to get a reservation yet there are always many sites that are empty. Not sure why so many people reserve but don’t show up or cancel.

There was no one in the office for us to check ( this was on a Tuesday at 2pm). We went to our site( no yellow tag up to say it was reserved). Camp only came around when we were 10 minutes late in checking out of our site.They did tell us that we could do ark our truck and trailer in the boat trailer lot, so we could visit longer with our friends. Restroom were in great shape, nice and clean. Love having gravel in sites and paved roads for walking or bike riding, walking around with a walker(me)

  • 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.
