We had a very good experience. The hosts were EXCELLENT! They kept the restrooms and sites so very clean! I would have rated our experience q five-star experience if the other campers could have kept dogs from barking and kids screaming. The campers in one space had a toddler who quite literally screamed for attention constantly.

We stayed in double site 26, which has lots of space for multiple tents (at least 3). Sites are deep and most are very spacious. Site 26 backs site 20 and 22, so if all are occupied privacy could be an issue between tent pads (they were both empty during our stay). A great group set up would be site 26 (double) with sites 20 and 22.

I would avoid site 15. The bathroom is just a few steps away from the picnic table of site 15 and the site has been cleared of most trees.

Stacy, the camp host is amazing. The problem was not with her. She gave us updates about the forest fire as soon as she had them. There was a miscommunication, and we were evacuated unnecessarily.
The "wilderness" quality of Islet CG has gone down ever since they started taking reservations. Large groups reserve multiple sites and basically take over the campground. They are inconsiderate of all the other campers.

Arrival & departure

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.
