This lookout features immaculate views, an incredible night sky, nearby trail that is well-maintained but not often in use, and an easy drive up right in from of the facility. I'd camp here every opportunity I get and you should too.

We had an AMAZING time at Squaw Peak. The views are absolutely incredible. We had a fun adventure with our kids hiking, exploring and playing games. They actually asked if we could please move to the mountains!

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.

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.

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.
