Very nice campground. We camped here for the first time with friends and had a wonderful time. Our friend brought his boat and gave us a tour of the lake. We stayed in a site with water and electric. The sites are nicely spaced. Many of the sites are level, but some needed quite a few blocks under tires to get RV's level, so make sure you have some leveling blocks with you, just in case.

Wonderful campground with excellent accommodations. We had a level pull-through site with a great picnic table, metal awning for shade, and a great view of the reservoir. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area. We camped here in a 33' travel trailer.

The campground was well maintained. The camp hosts drove around frequently checking to see if everyone was doing ok.The bathrooms were not very clean. We were evacuated the day before our reservation ended and we have still not received a refund.

The wind died down and it was pleasant. The mens bathroom and shower were nice and clean but my wife says the women’s was dirty. The night sky was beautiful.

We stayed in the electric loop - Buffalo Grove. All the sites have been upgraded and have concrete under the picnic table and a shade shelter. The bathrooms do have showers, however the bathrooms are not cleaned regularly. We were there during a holiday weekend and the rangers drove around to show a presence and watch for any issues.
Most of the campsites do not even have a view of the lake and there are very few trees.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

- 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.
