I love Ray Behrens. We have been camping there for almost 20 years. I am so sad to see it go downhill. I am not talking about the storm damage. Fully understand that, and actually they have done a really good job clearing the trees. However, the grass is always long now. No one weed eats around the picnic tables anymore. No one weed eats anywhere. It looks awful. All of the campsites are in need of fresh gravel. The fire pits are in need of maintenance. Ray Behrens used to be The Campground.
We stayed on site 8 in fall of 2020, spring of 2021, and summer of 2021. The same mound of weeds has been between sites 7 and 8. In the fall, it was evident there is not a stump or hazard in the mound. So, why not mow it off? Why not weed eat it? There are numerous issues of these clumps of weeds around the campground. We stopped a ranger, and he offered to come back and weed eat the spot. Very nice of him. We said no that was fine. Just wanted to bring it to his attention. Very impressed he offered to take care of it.
On Saturday evening we went for a walk. There were numerous dogs off their leashes. Numerous. Stopped a different ranger. He said, "Yeah, I saw that." He did not go back and talk to the campers. He just left.
In the old days, the rangers came around. They asked campers to move vehicles off the grass. No more. It's pretty much anything goes now. I know everyone is going to say but COVID. This down hill slide began before Covid. I love Ray Behrens, the lake, the area. I just am so sad to see it go downhill.

- 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.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
