Many nice level sites that are reasonably spaced, electric only. Some sites directly on river edge.. Nice paved, short loop walking trail around the campground--great for my wife who has mobility issues. Fairly level hiking trail with nice river views, winds past old oil well pumps, then crosses highway and climbs hill-- more strenuous. Peaceful, well-maintained park. Will definitely camp here again.

My only real criticism is that we were unsure about how to check in, so perhaps a sign saying "the campground host will come around" or "go there to check in" would be nice. Restrooms were clean and, unlike most campgrounds, the showers here had hot water almost instantly and were warm enough to be pleasingly comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

We were in site 9. Wonderful site but the electric connection was shared and on the opposite side from normal. We needed almost 50ft of electrical cord length.

The park could be a really nice place. The grass needed cut and looks like it had not been cut for 2 weeks if not more. I got all kinds of bites on my feet and legs due to grass being so tall and the bathrooms were semi clean and no hand soap.

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

  • Reservations must be made at least 4 days in advance; late campsites are first-come, first-served.

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.
