The restrooms had toilets plugged and were not clean. Just terrible shape. Been coming here for years, this was really bad. Intolerable smell.

Very nice grounds, great view, mostly well kept up. However, a fair amount of trash around the area, park lighting mostly did not work, and the community bathroom would have been better off just being closed rather than being open in the condition it was in. Hopefully they will tend to some of the matters. I'd like to stay there again.

This campground is beautiful in all respects. Clean and well-maintained. The sites are large (if not particularly level) and many have lovely views of the lake.

Beautiful recreation area. No wake boating, fishing and swimming. There always seemed to be a nice breeze. Sites were spacious and tiered on a hill so there were views at every site. Went to sleep listening to the coyotes howl after sunset. Showers were pretty warm, certainly warm enough and bathrooms were clean. There's a gas station and laundromat a minute from the entrance and the local golf course has a small restaurant with great burgers.

COE campgrounds are always top notch. This one is no different. They have picnic tables with metal roofs over them, nice asphalt pads, and spacious sites. The views of the lake are amazing. The signage to the campground could be better. You could easily take a wrong turn. Most sites are somewhat level. I had sire 52. It was anything but level. I was 6.5" off level side to side. Therefore I could not extend my slides for fear that they would bind up on the way out or in. Also the turn into and out of the site was very difficult for my 44' motorhome.

- 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.
