Because of fire danger, most of the surrounding area was shut down. The Forest Service and local lumber lands were all closed off. And, the recreational water areas were even closed. So… there wasn’t much to do. I’m thinking that the next few issues were also directly related to the fire danger closures: 1) there was no camp host - it appears that they were sent home?, 2) after being there for just one day, they shut off the water to the campgrounds!!??, 3) there were NO garbage cans made available at all. Kinda disappointing!!

Large spots. Pretty quiet area. Half reservable and half first come. My electric worked fine. Water and bathrooms available. No host on-site imagine due to lack of staffing with COVID-19 pandemic. Ranger came through a couple times

Area was neat and tidy. Fire pits and picnic tables were in good shape. Pit toilets could have been kept up a little better but there was no camp host.

The electric at my site was not working. My vacation was built around travels on my electric bike, so I was unable to charge batteries. Be aware there is NO cell service at the campground or anywhere within 25 miles or so.
On the other hand it is a beautiful campground as was my campsite. The water from the spigots was cold and the best I have ever tasted.

The water is not on. No camp host and someone was camped in our spot and vehicles were exceeding posted speed raising lots of dust.

- 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.
