We enjoyed the woods and quietness of the camp with family. The things we didn't like about the camp was poor cleaning of the bathrooms. A sign was posted on door of bathroom that they would be cleaned once a week, but that only meant dropping off 3 rolls of toilet paper for half of a full camp for the week. The bathrooms were so gross we cleaned them ourselves a couple of times. Thankfully we had brought TP ourselves. There was no water at camp when we arrived, but later it was turned on. Considering there were no hosts onsite the sites were in good shape and no loud groups around. Also, there is no garbage pickup there and no where in area to dump the garbage. We would definitely check camp out to see how it was cared for before going back. There was a number posted to call on site post, but was not a functioning number.

Love this campsite. Only issue this time was no water, no camp host, and no maintainance on the toilets. Love the area though. So much to do and see.

Love this campground. The reservations are now a pain and you can’t reserve spots that will be open for walk ins. So it will say full but there’s lots of open spaces now.
We love to fish in the reservoir, take quads up the mountain, visit town for a huckleberry soft serve ice cream. We come every year and will as long as we can

- 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.
