Very nice clean place to stay for camping. Camp hosts do a wonderful job with keeping up with camp sites by raking after each guest stay. Camp host accommodation for moving camp sites was very appreciative by a guest that picked wrong from map selection. Clubhouse Lake is incredibly clean for swimming and nice beach area for small children.

This was our first experience at boondocks in our 32ft class A camper, and it was great.

Beautiful area; beautiful campground. Camp Host did not fulfill his duties: Did not enforce the maximum number of vehicles, etc., at sites. Did not enforce noise rules, or stop the extra large, multi-site group, from shooting off Fireworks for over an hour, down near our site. Camp Host was rude and unprofessional, twice, banging hard on our door, telling us to be out by 1PM. It was more than an hour before checkout time; we already had our things packed up, and were just finishing up our lunch, before leaving. He did not introduce himself, did not thank us for coming, or invite us to please come again… he just told us to, “Be out by 1PM; there’s another group coming in!” He was downright NASTY! We stopped to dispose of our garbage before leaving; he was sitting on the top of a Picnic Table, watching a woman do the raking of the nearby site… My husband went over to talk to him, telling him we had already had our things packed and ready to go; and to address the Fireworks issue… The Camp Host just flailed his arms up in the air, and said, “Whatever!” He did not care about anything, but being Nasty; unapologetic and uncivil.

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

  • Reservations are required at least 4 days in advance; after this, sites are first-come first-serve.
  • For additional information, refer to the Chippewa National Forest resources.

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.

Fees & deposits

  • Fees include one camping unit per site; double occupancy is allowed only on large sites, with additional fees.
