What Guests Are Saying

Rockhaven Park Campground and Equestrian Area offers well-marked trails, clean amenities, and a pleasant camping experience, especially for horse enthusiasts. The campground is noted for its cleanliness, shaded campsites, and accommodating hosts, making it a favorite among visitors. However, some areas, particularly trails, need maintenance, and the lack of water hookups and occasional non-equestrian campers in designated spots were mentioned as concerns.

I love this campground they have hot showers, restrooms, a dumpster, playground, shelter, and potable water. My only complaint would be that the spaces not reserved for equestrian use are not shady. Since the spaces reserved for horse folks are sparsely used, it might make sense to open up more spots for other campers.

Got a campsite we could use a couple hoses to fill holding tanks. Would not have stayed in one we could not get water. Wish the lower trail by the water was open to have more riding options. Debris from flood still an issue so trail was closed. Understand that does take a lot of work. Otherwise the campground was clean, pens were good and close to campsite. Not “packed” in together like private campgrounds seem to do. Great weekend!

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.

  • Campsites are open to everyone, with specific sites offering equestrian accommodations and electrical services.
