Campers appreciate the peaceful atmosphere, spacious sites, and the overall cleanliness of the facilities, including bathrooms. However, some have noted challenges with water quality and the check-in process due to limited cell service, along with occasional weather-related issues.

Had a nice stay. Sites and grounds were clean and well maintained. Unfortunately we went and the water was down so was just a dry lake bed to look at. Look ahead and see if the lake is up if you want to be by the water.

The camp host was very friendly and informative about the lake. The water is dried up at this location. We were told it has been 3 years without water. Very quite and nice site.

The park is always beautiful and well maintained. Neal (the caretaker) is the best there is. I would like to see some cleaner water coming from the hydrants however. The water was very bad.

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.
