Many thanks to camp host Rob, who was very helpful finding us a spot for the first night when we arrived a day early! Our reserved spot, 22, was very private and had a great view. Island Lake trail up at the end of the road and Thomas Canyon trail were both great. Watch out for the little ground squirrels. One slipped into our trailer under the screen door. Fortunately, it ran away as soon as it saw us!

Site 8 was wonderful. It was close to the bathroom, and water was nearby. The picnic area was elevated above the RV site. The view was spectacular from anywhere within the site.

I would give it 5 stars just for the views alone. Our site was very hard to back into because of overgrown brush. They need to go in with a chainsaw and a weedwhacker and cut back the brush. Our fire pit and grill area was overgrown with vegetation. We took a shovel to see if there was concrete under the brush and there was.

I made a reservation although my name wasn’t on the reserved sign at the campsite. There was a brief discussion with a camper looking for a spot until I was able to show them my online reservation

A beautiful oasis. Our campsite was clean, quiet and beautiful. Lots of vegetation to hide us! Would probably opt for a creekside spot next time.

  • 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.
