Clean and pretty quiet this year. Lots of empty sites that were reserved. Running water in some bathrooms was a welcome addition this year. Would like to see the reservation process changed. Some campsites could use some attention- move some rock obstructions from the ends of the driveways to allow for safer entry with a trailer.

Quiet campsite set on a hillside. We had #17 huge site next to/behind the camp host. However it was up a steep hill from the water. If not interested in the water great place to camp. Otherwise make sure to book as close to the water as possible, or you will be walking up and down a very steep hill.

Arrival & departure

Check in time

12PM

Check out time

11AM

  • Contact the entrance station for questions during the operating season, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm daily.

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.
