I was amazed in the Thomas canyon, beautiful, remote mountains with a lot of hiking trails. The campground was clean, we had good luck: our neighbors were quiet, the stay was very enjoyable. No cell service ( AT&T and T-mobile), no WiFi.

The Ruby mountains are so pretty and lush in early summer.. We were wishing we had our screen shelter as the bugs were out.. Not a lot of them but a few mosquitos, a few biting flies.. It was still very green with water flowing by our campsite. The bathrooms were clean.. so nice to that there wasnt footprints on the toilet seats and paper on the floor.. The dumpsters were not overflowing, fellow campers seemed friendly and considerate of others.. Just a pleasant, relaxing stay.. Hopefully we have more time to hike next time there.. Though relaxing by the river wasnt to tough.. As a plus, as someone that spends a lot of time in the eastern sierra,, its was nice to not have to deal with bears in camp

there needs to be more information about the size of the RV spaces. Even though we picked one that was allegedly the right length according to the map, it was impossible to back our trailer into it be cause of the approach angle of the campground road and the bushes.

By far the prettiest and best campground I've been to in a very long time. Awesome spot.

- 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.
