The campsite is very crowded with small campsites. Our water faucet was running constantly so the backside of our campsite was a giant mudslide that my kids and an adult from a neighboring campsite all slipped and fell in. It had been there long enough that it was growing algae and started to smell. When we spoke to the Park Ranger they were aware of the issue and upset it hadn't been fixed. The bathrooms were out of toilet paper despite the camphost always driving around on her golfcart and getting after people for any minor issue. Lots of people letting their dogs run around and saw more than one near dog fight break out and another almost backed over by a truck while we followed the rules and kept our 2 very well behaved dogs on cables the whole time, never saw anyone addressed about their dogs running around. The shower goes back and forth from freezing cold to scalding hot with no warning at all and no way to control it. I would not have booked a campsite here if I had known these issues and have no plans to return.

A beautiful park for a stop over. Nice sites in loop A, where we were. Not much to do in the area but very relaxing.

We always stay at farnum creek when we come to the lake. It’s a great campground. It’s just too bad the sites couldn’t be updated, made longer, more 50amp. Trees need trimmed so branches don’t scratch the top. Need a fish cleaning station.

Policies & Rules
Arrival & departure
- Visitor hours are limited and end at a specified time.
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.
