The site and campground were maintained well. Our site had a great view of the lake at the angle we were set up. The personal beach is a big plus as well. It is a little close to neighbors and does not have much tree/bush coverage. We did deal with multiple generators running 24/7 around us with no help from the camp host to stop it which was a big downer for us.

Unreal camping, especially along the lakeside. This place really has it all. Primitive yet well maintained by the host. Highly recommend bringing along mosquito defenses, quality toilet paper, and a shower to use. Most supplies and firewood can be located in nearby Cass Lake (campsite hosts no longer sell wood).

The sites are full of poison Ivy which was hard to work around. Liked the area lots tho. Our camp host had visitors that were a bit sketchy at the campground.

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.

Site capacity

  • Each site can have one camping unit, and up to 8 occupants total, including extra tents.
