What Guests Are Saying

The sunset view of the lake was stunning. Although it was challenging to find a flat camping spot, one was located despite being covered in live plants. Air quality was poor due to nearby fires, prompting the use of an N95 mask while sleeping.

The view of the lake at sunset was beautiful. It was difficult to find a flat spot, but I found one, albeit covered in live plants (I prefer to camp on dirt or dead leaves). There was a fire burning on the other side of the road, to say nothing of the many other prescribed burns in the area at the time, so air quality was bad. I wore an N95 while I slept to protect my lungs from the smoke.

Very nice well maintained park with a very challenging disc golf course. The campsites are in need of some maintenance. Only spot to set up a tent on the sites is on a slope. The shelters are ok but bent roof tins and rotten ceiling boards. Grill is rusted through and couldn't use it no firering on our site.

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

  • The picnic pavilion can only be used during the day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

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.

Site capacity

  • The picnic pavilion can accommodate a maximum of 40 people.

Vehicles & parking

  • Only 10 vehicles are allowed to park at the pavilion, but additional parking is available nearby.
