Unfortunately someone was in our spot at check-in, and no one was manning the gate (even though it said they should be open!) Fortunately the people were very nice and moved!

It’s time to upgrade the shower house! No way my grandbabies could shower in there. The water spray is so hard it burns.

Otherwise, fantastic facilities!!!

The weather was not great, but we managed to enjoy ourselves. Our only complaint is that we NEVER have phone service at Ray Behrens and there’s no internet service at all. I wish that they would correct this in all of the state parks.

This was our first time at a COE campground, so we were a little nervous about what it would be like. Our experience was wonderful. This is a wonderful campground, with some sites full hook up. It was very relaxing, with wonderful shade. I can't speak to the bathrooms, we used our RV facilities. The area around Ray Behrens was beautiful, as a birder and hiker there were many opportunities inside the campground and in the area. We highly recommend this campground.

Camp site was large with nice concrete patio and built in fire pit. Playground equipment plentiful and in good shape for the kids. Campground was quiet and well maintained.

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.
