Very peaceful campsite. It was not full when we were there right after Labor Day - but even if it were, there is still plenty of privacy between sites. Easy access to the water. Bathrooms were extremely clean. The only bummer is that there are recent burns in the area, which impact the beauty of the hiking trails. We would go back again!

Our spot was amazing. It was very large with a picnic area and fire pit. Behind the site was a creek we were able to swim in. It was hot but the creek was amazing to cool down in. What an amazing find! 5 ⭐️ 10/10 would return.

what a hidden gem. Wonderful campsites, not on top of your neighbor. Was very hot but what a beautiful creek to cool down in. Camp host was very attentive to the restrooms, clean and stocked. Looking forward to many more camping trips here. One of our favorites for sure now.

- 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.

- 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.
