There are two toilets for a campground that holds 180 people. There used to be 8 toilets and now there are two. Is this a joke? Also, don't plan on anyone putting up reserved signs. We reserved this campground 9 months ago and arrived to find people already camping there and one of them was very threatening. It took numerous phone calls and over an hour to get help.

Well maintained primitive tent camp site. Very close to canoe/kayak rental and put in for floating. Second time here and will come again.

We had a great relaxing stay. It was perfect for us. This spot isn't for everyone, it is basically primative group camping . The pit john was a little ripe, but it was clean and had plenty of TP.

The group sites are beautiful, right on the river, plenty of room, although a bit remote to get to. The major drawback was the vault toilets- they were poorly maintained, very dirty/smelly/buggy, and are reached by a small path that gets covered with spider webs at night. If the toilets and access to them were improved, it would be a group site at least as good as Round Spring.

- 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.
