We could only stay for 1 night, but we will be back! We liked the cleanliness, the level camp spot, the view and it was easy to get in and out. We have a 38 ft Super C with toad.

The new campgrounds are nice. That being said we had to stay in the old area and it had so many tumble weeds that we couldn't even walk around our campsite or even use the uncovered table. Weeds were two feet high. Our pets had walk on road so the wouldn't get full of stickers. I would not book this place unless you're in the newer sites. Very sad for my first time. We enjoyed our boat at the lake though.

It is a well-maintained place. It does have hot water and showers. The area for the tent is also well prepared ( it has fine stone
which is very comfortable. September is probably the best time of the year to visit. But April and May could be pleasant too.

Quiet and peaceful! Some of the info signs can't be read and it took two of my guests having to chase down a ranger so they could find my spot!

Do your research ahead of time. There is no Camp Host presence to answer any questions, or help with annual passes, or answer any onsite questions. The bathrooms suffer from a lack of attention, but there always seems to be toilet paper and paper towels :) ... and someone regularly walks the grounds picking up after others. Thank you for that. Otherwise, the surrounding areas offer some beautiful daytime vistas and dark night skies.

- 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.
