The site was beautiful but the flies were so bad, we left after a few hours. You could not cook with the amount of flies, you could not sit outside, even getting into your car hundreds of flies would get in. If there were not flies it would be a great place to stay.

What a great campground! Just 1/4 mi from the Theodore Rosevelt - North Unit Park entrance, it has everything! Water, clean pit toilets, electric, and views of the park. I was there over a weekend in Aug and the campground was only 1/3 full. Highly recommend!

Check in was easy, site & amenities were as described. Liked the programs at the amphitheater which was within walking distance of the campground. Bathrooms were clean. Like that they had trash and recycling bins.

Campground has been upgraded with electric service to sites and a new outhouse. The downside to that is the price is getting jacked up. Frankly, I liked it the way it was for $10 per night. Campground host is a great guy and went out of his way to meet us and to help in any way.

Waters tastes pretty bad which I don’t remember from the last time. Ok to use for cleaning etc., but I would bring your own for drinking.

We never could find it and nobody at the park seemed to know anything about it. Spent $28 and couldn’t ask for a refund.

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.

Fees & deposits

  • Download the Recreation.gov app to pay using a QR code or use cash with provided envelopes.

Fires & fuel
