We had a double site on the creek. It was beautiful, quiet and semi-private. There are a lot of great activities in the area for swimming and hiking. We are looking forward to going back!

We absolutely LOVE French Pete. Our favorite camping is in smaller quiet campgrounds, with minimal amenities. The sound of the flowing water, and the peaceful sound of very few humans...always makes for a perfectly relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The Vault toilets are very well maintained, the campsites are all fairly large and a nice combination of shade and sun at each. There are water pumps, but we tend to pack in our own water from home for the trip. Camp host was very helpful and kind. One of our favorite places to camp.

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.
