Many visitors appreciate the campground's cleanliness and the availability of fire pits and picnic tables.

Usually is always clean, campground and bathrooms, but las time, bathrooms were really dirty, like if they haven’t been clean in a long time, also, there was at least 6 beer cans and some garbage in the fire pit when we arrived couple hours after our check in time!

If you’re into riding ATV, off road vehicles or dirt bikes, then this is the place to be.
This could be a good place to stay…but there are drawbacks.
Many sites are left dirty, in the 3 days we were there, the 2 bathrooms we used had never been cleaned.
While a ranger does drive around, they don’t appear to do anything other than that. And that includes enforcing any of the rules. Just a few examples, only 2 vehicles per site, but there were several sites that had up to 6 vehicles and multiple tents, if a site was empty but reserved , people would just pull in, set up and use it a day use site. The campground speed limit is just a suggestion. ATVs/off road vehicles went through occupied campsites constantly. There is a supposed curfew between midnight and 6am for running off road, but people apparently miss that sign.

Policies & Rules
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.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
