What Guests Are Saying
Idlewild Campground offers a peaceful atmosphere with well-spaced, shady sites among beautiful ponderosa trees. The campground was quiet during a late June visit, with excellent birding opportunities nearby. Amenities like potable water and a firefighter memorial garden enhance the overall experience.

Quiet campground, only a couple families there. Spots are well spaced, shady, beautiful ponderosas. Potable water was a plus and liked the firefighter memorial garden. Good birding as well

We enjoyed our three-night stay here in late June. Each night of our stay we were one of only three or four parties in the campground. It was quiet, and the birding was excellent from our campsite and along the trails.

- 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.
