Some really great camping spots down by the river and large group areas. Clean bathrooms, and plenty of amenities for families.
Unfortunately, the camp sites by the entrance near the volunteer caretaker spots were the only sites available when we booked and they were terrible. Very noisy because they were right by the busy highway (Government Rd) and dangerous for small children (or in our case for our dogs).
Also, there were some pretty sketchy "tenants" in that area. Specifically a beat up RV with graffiti on it, plywood in the windows and some questionable people driving it. Made us second guess leaving behind our belongings while we hiked in the area.
Lastly, at least a quarter of the sites were "vacant" but reserved. I understand that's not necessarily the camground's fault, but as a renter we would have greatly appreciated moving our one night reservation to a better and safer location away from the road if at all possible. Hopefully the campground operators can come up with a way of shuffling reservations or clearing unused reservations in the future to help those actually using the sites feel more comfortable. When we asked to see if we could move to an unused site, the volunteers where extremely rude and just repetitively told us "we're booked out" without even looking up reservations etc. We felt very unheard.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
