Had a great time despite the weather being non-cooperative! Hosts were great! We fished, enjoyed just a little sunshine between the rain and ate in town.

The hosts were wonderful and responsive. They changed out the batteries for the water pumps when there were a few cloudy days in a row so the solar panels could not keep them charged. They were friendly and helpful.

Clean, quiet, beautiful campground. Lovely, large wooded sites. Nice lake with little sandy beach and several sitting spaces along one edge.

Beautiful campsite and campground. Lots of room and nice hiking trails all around the area. Even spots that were close to each other were still well wooded with privacy.

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

Check in time

2PM

Check out time

12PM

  • Guests are not allowed to switch sites upon arrival.
  • Reserved sites are held until noon the day after arrival; if not occupied by then, the reservation is forfeited.

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.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation modifications are not allowed once your reservation has started.
