Great campground overall. It was nice to be able to hear the wind in the trees while much of the campground was protected from that wind. Being so close to the creek, the bugs were annoying at times, but that’s part of camping. It’s a beautiful site in a beautiful area, we can’t wait to get back.

Sites are spacious & the tent pad was elevated (#9) which helped with the moist ground. Bathrooms are pretty gross though… we spent most of the day at Cunningham Falls fishing, hiking & swimming. Fun weekend trip!

Beautiful green secluded campsite, but the combination of very old fire pits and damp firewood made keeping a fire going and cooking extremely difficult. We left early due to inability to grill.

I LOVE this campground!!! It is perfect for bird watching, hiking and just relaxing. I like that there are almost all tenters… very few RVs . The rest rooms are clean.

Many of the sites have driveways that are not level. This is not noted in the campsite description. We had to change to a new site from the one we had reserved as we couldn't get our campervan level -- we were lucky because there were only 2 sites available, but one had a fairly level driveway.

  • 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.

  • 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.
