This campground has been a family favorite for us over 65 years!! My family and I have enjoyed the beach and lake year after year. HOWEVER, the past few years have been spoiled by the forest rangers inconsistent enforcement of rules. Pets have been allowed to run unleashed, spurs have been regraded and are now dangerous with uneven “drop offs”, and shortened with no room for tow vehicles and boat trailers. This limits the sites available for most modern camping units! Rangers are rude and defensive! This is extremely unfortunate for many longtime campers!!

Campsites were clean and well maintained. The lake was beautiful, we spent a lot of time on the water and on the bike trail. I don’t think the vault toilets and garbage bins had been pumped or dumped in a while, but we didn’t let it ruin the experience.

We have been coming here for over 40 years. I’m sad to say things have been going down hill. Bathrooms are not kept up like they used to to. No firewood to purchase at camp host. One of our sites had a lot of garbage left behind by the previous campers. Very sad to see this campground that use to be a great place to come turning less desirable.

Policies & Rules

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.
