What Guests Are Saying
Kuykendall Group Camp is a spacious and clean campsite, ideal for accommodating large groups, with great new grills and a refreshing water source for hot summer days. Guests appreciate the nearby creek for swimming and overall cleanliness of the facility. However, some noted that the bathrooms needed more attention before their arrival.

Great time! Previous group left trash in the fire pit which we cleaned out, but other than that, it was perfect!

We experienced a major rain event and crossing the creek with 4WD was dicey, but we had a wonderful time. I wish the Forest Service would clear the privet between the camp site and the creek.
You can’t see the water. It would enhance the appeal and decrease an invasive species.

This area has been camped in for so many years that there is little firewood convenient to the site for gathering.
Your best bet is to contact a local supplier to deliver or supply some locally cut firewood.

The field was dry and clean. The outhouses were clean. It only rained one day but was cold for two days.
Why won't they build a bridge over the creek?

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.
