If you even talk about alcohol, the park rangers will use that as an excuse to search your campsite for anything. Our group was given a warning, which we took and did not drink anymore. Kept all drinks sealed and locked since we were hours away from home. The next night we were talking about how it sucked we couldn't drink and the rangers came in to search our camp and forced us to dump everything we had locked up and threatened to kick us out. We packed up and left the next morning. Now 3 months later, I get a violation notice in the mail and a fine for $230. Might be a good park if you have small children and want a dry weekend, but otherwise, look for someplace else

Hosts were great to let us know upon check in of other available sites we could move to before fully setting up our camp. Good amenities and location easy to bike to Cottage Grove, covered bridges, and rails-to-trails along Dorena Reservoir.

- 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.
