Restrooms were clean. A lot of action throughout the night, not the most quiet campground.

Nicely designed newer sections of the campground (Buffalo Grove, Elk Run, and Ringtail Cat) - still seemed to require a lot of leveling work (by us and others). Paved roads throughout the campground are nice for exercise walking or biking. Some additional gravel trails are also available. Park staff only visible Friday through Sunday when activity/traffic is heavier. Lisa at the main entry kiosk was super friendly! We saw a work crew come through to clean restrooms, showers, and shade structures but scattered trash throughout the grounds didn't seem to get much attention. We stopped into the visitor center and learned that many nearby roads had been closed off due to fires. Also, the nearby Tent Rocks National Monument was closed indefinitely.

Some sites on west side, such as juniper loop seem to have dated facilities or need for upgrades. The RV dump station near Juniper Loop was locked at the actual dump station but no signs were posted. Did not know out of service until began hooking up hoses.

Weekends were very busy and I could not sleep. Some people staying up until 2 in the morning or starting their generators early in the morning.
Camper support is limited or non existent. Bathrooms were generally clean but not always.
This is an ideal place for during the week or off season. It is way too busy on weekends or holidays and is a terrible place to be at those times.

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.
