Each campsite is pleasantly secluded because of all the trees, and the creek running through was lovely to look at and to hear. Bathrooms were clean and water was available. The canyon and mountains offer a nice vista, as does the hike that goes up from the campground to some waterfalls. There were a few yellowjackets that were annoying when we first arrived, but they had disappeared by the time we were cooking dinner.

Really stunning views from the campsite. Great to walk around and swim in the creek. Good enough space between sites.

Love going up and visiting Lamoille canyon but definitely wish people would turn off their generators at a reasonable time. There was no camp host at the time and hearing loud generators running until 1 am was ridiculous

We were surprised by the sheer beauty of this area. It would have been nice to have hook-ups but it’s understandable that they don’t since it’s in a remote canyon. The road in was paved. Hope to stay here again.

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.
