I am beginning to hate picking sites based on reviews. I chose the site based on a 5 star review. There were waterfront sites I would have chosen over this site. The campground was pretty empty. I should have moved and dealt with the camp host later. The bathrooms were nice and the shower hot. I would stay there again no problem.

The campsite was in good shape, roomy, with shade trees and recently mowed.
Neil, the host, was exceptional. He went over the top to make our stay enjoyable.

This campground was one of the cleanest and well kept campgrounds we’ve stayed at. We enjoyed all aspects of camping there. Neil the campground attendant is super nice and friendly but does a great job keeping order in the campground, example he had to call a group of campers that were blaring their music after quite time hours so other campers were not disturbed during sleep hours.
Few miles of dirt roads can be challenging for some either dusty or muddy depending on the weather.
We will be returning and is now one of our regular camping spots.
Thanks to Neil for the fabulous job he does for all of us so we can have a clean and well kept campground to enjoy!

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.
