The little store there was never open. The camp host couldn't tell us where a dump station was to drain our black & gray water. What good is a host if they can't give information. Camping was great & the lake was beautiful. Will go again, but do my research ahead of time.

Terry and Jeff are outstanding hosts! They are completely focused on the safety and enjoyment of the campers. They, and their people, keep the campground, clean, quiet, and comfortable.

Beautiful place to camp! The sites are clean and the hosts are friendly. They go out of their way to help you. Fishing is good right from the shore but you have to find the right spot, so you might have to move around a little.

- 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.

- 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.
