The campsite was absolutely terrible! We left after 2 days, we were supposed to stay 7. You had to walk up a hill to the campsite, the entire site was on a hill. I fell 5 times in 2 days the ground was soo uneven. I would never recommend lot #6 to anyone. Worst camping trip ever.

Site 10 is best for tents, steep pad area. Road and sites are paved. Nice beach and common area.

The campsite we reserved was not available when we arrived. The people setting up said there was not a reserved sign.
We were lucky we found a spot down the road at another campground.

- 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.

- 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.
