The campground was nice. Clean and spacious campsites. The RV pad we had was not very level and required a bit of work to level our camper. We walked the five + mile trail along the lakeshore. The trail is right on the edge of the water, too close in fact. There is a lot of erosion and toppled trees and the trail itself has fallen in in places. we saw a lot of trash floating in the lake and every tree over a good fishing spot was festooned with fishing tackle. The trail markers on the second half of the trail were very indistinct and need to be repainted.

Bath house not as clean or cared for as my last visit. Lower loop camp host is living in a utility trailer with a large, vicious dog that tries to attack you if you come near the site to check in. Upper loop camp hosts are nice, but rarely leave their site and don't update the reservation tags at the sites. Cleaning schedules in the bath house have not been updated in over a year.

Sites are too close together. People next to us had 4 tents and the host thought it was fine. One was less than 10 ft from our camper.

The campground was very well kept I wish the sites had been cleared of the leaves, it was very slick because of this. The fire ring needs some help, it needs to be replaced because of holes in the ring. The dump station was closed very early in the season there was the threat of freezing but it did not while we were there. The road to the campground was terrible it needs to be regraded or paved.

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.
