Love that there's no wifi or cell service. Love quiet time too. So peaceful for those that want to enjoy nature and get away from technology and noise/music. Awe

Nice quiet spot on the water! Campground management was great, we rode motorcycles so they brought us some free wood for the fire pit. 10 out of 10.

Overall we had a pleasant experience. The campground was mostly empty, so it was quiet and we enjoyed the solitude. When we arrived there was a fair amount of garbage scattered around the campsite. Plastic bottle lids, other plastic, paper. We picked it up ourselves.

We were disappointed that White Sandy campground has raised their rates so substantially, even though they do not provide water this year. Does not seem appropriate, especially when the neighboring campground at Black Sandy provides hookups at their sites for about the same price. I do prefer the separation of the sites at White Sandy over Black Sandy.

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.
