Spent three nights at Whiteface, It rained the all three days. So the last day it was sunny and beautiful so we decided to take our time getting packed up and on the road. We knew nobody was coming into this site until tomorrow. We were sitting at the picnic table when the camp host came by and yelled at us from the road. Telling us that checkout was 11 AM. This was about 2 PM. I told her I would pay for the extra time. She yelled back to stop in at the office on the way out. I paid 17 dollars for the 4 hours. I thought the host was extremely rude. She never bothered to actually have a conversation.

Hiking trails are impassable including the one that takes you from the campground to the office, roads are patched and in a state of disrepair, several trees are down that need to be cleaned up. The forest service should be helping to keep this beautiful campground and launch in shape. It has several visitors in a season despite not having a dump station or shower facilities. Obviously there are not enough resources to keep this maintained the way it used to be. Help is needed to staff this facility.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

- 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.
