We had a fantastic time and made friends. We enjoyed the different kinds of birds and the beautiful sunsets. Everything is kept so clean and the employees and volunteers are so friendly and helpful.

Beautiful area. Some sites are hard to back into, that could deter me from coming in the future. Otherwise, great.

The lake and the campsites are pretty nice. And so are the bathrooms. There are only two recommendations: First, it was a difficult to find the trash dumpsters. We finally found them when we went on a hike. The other concern is the water. When we arrived at our campsite, the ground was pretty wet near the water spout. I thought it was due to the rain. There are even five concrete steps so we didn't have to walk in the mud. The next day, that whole area was flooded and stayed that way throughout our stay. It looks like there are several leaks around the water spouts in the campground. None the less, it is a nice facility.

Great location! Would bring a longer water hose, shared water, it can be longer distance than most campgrounds.

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.
