This is our go to family camping spot. There's always enough space. The bath houses are relatively clean to be a campground. The porta potties on the lake are actually quite nasty but thankfully there were other restrooms to use. We consistently stay here and our family always has a wonderful time.

Overall enjoyed our stay and liked the area. The two issues we ran into were no soap in the bathroom (better pack your own or have plenty of hand sanitizer) and no firewood for sale at the campground - you had to leave the park and go to a gas station about 3 mi back. Both were surprising but not a major problem, but would maybe others can have a chance to prepare/plan differently for their trips

Pros: Nicely organized sites. Plenty of bathrooms. Showers had hot water and nice pressure. Bathroom area well lit. Gates to the campground closed at night. Nearby beach access to lake near dock was very nice-walkable or driveable, good parking.

Cons: The sites were a bit small. Very tall fire ring made it a bit hard to see fire when sitting around.

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.
