In 2023 we had paid campground hosts and the campground was kept in immaculate condition. In 2024 we have volunteers and they don’t put as much pride in maintaining the campground as was done in prior years. The rest rooms are not as clean as they used to be and are not cleaned on a regular basis. The fire pits are not maintained and today are way too full of burned ash. Please bring back our paid hosts. We spend usually five to seven weeks at Riley Creek and love it and miss the maintenance.

Very Nice and large site, Volunteer hosts do a good job . US Army Core needs to put money into paying these kind folks better. Riley Creek is popular so a percentage of non reserved sites would allow campers the opportunity to enjoy on a first come/served basis.
Also signs on "handicapped " bathroom/ showers Should show LARGE wheel chair logo to discourage young healthy campers from monopolizing these facilities . Thanks for a great stay !

Policies & Rules

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.
