Great campground! Spacious sites with more privacy than many campgrounds. Beach is nice but there’s lots of large bird poo and seaweed left on the beach. One day it was raked over, which helped. Other days it was untouched and some families were tossing the poo in the river to get rid of it, but resulted in floaters all over the swimming area. The fishing docks are awesome! Relatively clean bathrooms for a state campground. We will return.

Another beautiful Idaho campground, although there were too many out of state visitors. Only 20% in the park were from Idaho. Frustrating when you can’t reserve a spot at a campground you pay taxes for!

The camp was clean and well cared for. I was glad to see that we no longer have to put quarters in to be able to take a shower. We had a great time! Thank you!

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.
