Very friendly and competent campground hosts. Great level sites on the non-electric spaces; did see some full electric RV's using their leveling jacks....
One suggestion: the "checkout time 2:00" needs to be emphasized on the website and the check-in handout. I came in at about 1:30 and my reserved site was occupied so with the approval of the camp host I just stayed in another empty non-electric site. Good thing because the 'over stayer" in my site didn't depart until the following day! Then on my departure date, a got a knock on my door at 10:30 am that i was in "their" space. I reminded them about the 2:00 checkout time and they said they'd never heard about it.

Very helpful hosts. T-mobile service is good. Check ahead in the fall due to leaf peeper and balloon festival. Also movie production can upset the availability.

The views here are phenomenal. We loved being far out and up on the higher loop that afforded a greater view. We were disappointed in two significant things.
One, the bathroom facility for our loop was closed (reason wasn’t given—just locked and a sign stating it was closed). So, we had to drive to another loop everyone we needed to use the facility. With four little children, I can’t tell you what an inconvenience that was. It really altered our experience at the campground. It added some chaos to what should’ve been relaxing. Had I been informed ahead of time, I likely wouldn’t have booked here, or had chosen a different loop.
The second complaint we have is that the water faucet for our site had an immense water pressure (that’s fine!) but it didn’t have a good runoff path or rock bed. So, it would quickly run off into our neighbors site if we weren’t careful! We did our best to create a damn with rocks to direct the water for future guests.
Finally, I would add that it was terribly frustrating to get in contact with anyone to ask a question about our reservation. The best we could get was through the general state site, but never one for the campground directly.
Overall, we would love to return… if some of these issues were addressed.

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.
