Had an excellent view of the lake and the mountains. Campground was very quiet with sites spaced well apart. The shower house in the Buffalo Loop could use some attention. One toilet of the two was not operable and one shower of the two was also not operable.

Had site directly across from the restrooms, granted most times have bad odor, by 2pm the smell was overwhelming to the point of being nauseous.

We loved the campground. The non-electric sites were concrete and level. The camp is well maintained and has beautiful scenery.

Good Campground
Paved sites were good
Lake access was a bit of a distance but worth the walk, good kayaking
Roads in the area were pretty good for cycling
Negative - the comfort station ie restrooms were in need of serious cleaning and repairs unfortunately

Campsites are very unlevel. The area has lots to offer. Campground has nothing.

Solid Campsite with plenty of options and a nice trail that goes down to the lake. Recommend the Ringtail loop.

- 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.
