Great campground! We booked this in the winter to enjoy a Missouri River weekend. It was great to explore the area!
Camp hosts were attentive and friendly and told us about the quiet times. Our neighbors had friends over on the 2nd night and were “visiting” until 1 am right next to where we were sleeping. They were not awfully loud but they did disturb my sleep. Not the fault of the campground, just an observation of rude neighbors.
This site is def popular with families and ski and wake boats. It’s perfect for that use! Great swim beach and clean vault toilets. I’d go back for sure!

Beautiful sites along the lake. Sites were level and wide with a good space between them. The gravel road was a little rough getting to the site and the water was not available (broken pipes), otherwise it would be 5-stars.

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.
