We have camped many times over the past 15 years at Riley Creek campground. We have enjoyed our times at Riley Creek,but the last few years it has been almost impossable to get a campsite. The process to get a site has taken the fun out of it.

Some how the same people are staying way beyond the 14 days! We met people at beach said they been there all summer! I don’t know if they are switching sites to other family or other rv’s but we have seen many Russian family’s that have like 8 sites in one loop and they are altogether and we were there for week of the 4th for 6 days and then came back Aug 17 -21st and 4 of the same families were there again and they stayed for full 14 days so they shouldn’t have been back! It’s getting harder and harder to get sites and somehow many have figured out how to cheat the system and are getting several sites and staying beyond the 14 day stay! We usually come 3 to 4 times for 3-4 nights for 12 plus years and we only got 2 camping times in this summer due to all this cheating the system that’s going on! Hopefully you are aware and put a stop to it to give others a fighting chance at a site for a few days!

Cancellation policy

  • 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.
  • 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.
