The lakeside sites in loop A and B have a beautiful view of the lake. Bring extra water hose with you as you can hook up to water but it may be a distance away.

Patio tables were not in very good shape & need work. Other than that the campground is a good, quite, remote place to spend some time away from the crowds. Great place for kids on bicycles & very nice 'group event area' !!

We stayed 2 nights 8/10/21 & 8/11/21
Our stay was good for the most part even though the temperature was 100* +
The weather is out of anyone’s control. We only had a couple of issues as follows
1. The shared waters picket was leaking pretty
Bad around the seals resulting in water and
Mud accumulation in the camping area.
2. The camp grounds lost electricity for several
Hours
3. We used to stay here on a regular basis
Several years ago. We haven’t been here in
At least 7-8 years. We feel the campgrounds
Were better managed back then. We did not
Use the swim beach because of people with
Dogs and alcohol in the swim area. We did
Not feel comfortable with that kind of
Environment. This kind of behavior was not
Allowed when we used to camp here in the
Past.
** side note: the camp host was very friendly
And helpful. They made it a point to stop
And check on our camping enjoyment.

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.
