Campsite #15 is small, could fit a group of 4 but I would say it was PERFECT for 2. Pretty much right on the road, but I'm referring to the campground road not the main one, so traffic really wasn't bad, just other campers walking to the toilet or kiddos riding their bikes by. You can add some more privacy with your car. The spot has great access to the creek, a couple little walking trails that lead right down to it and the water is close enough that you can hear it and it's such a lovely thing to wake up/fall asleep to! Bathrooms were VERY well maintained, clean and never ran out of toilet paper. We didn't end up using the water access but we had such a great time at this spot that we'll definitely come back, stay longer, and give that a try too. Camp hosts were super friendly and present.

This is a primitive campground, and is best enjoyed on a lawnchair, creekside.

The site was large and mostly private, right next to the river. French Pete trail head is right across the hwy. Will camp her again for sure.

Clean and private campground. Our site was right on the river and was well maintained. The bathrooms were super clean. There is no cell service here which added to the experience.

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.
