Pulled into the lake lake late at night. Had a roof top tent so was easy to set up camp. Had a fire and went to bed. The lake had only a couple of campers on it, so it was nice and private. We stayed at the north beach campground. The wind though was terrible that night, obviously not the campground fault just Mother Nature. So ended up leaving early morning. But would definitely recommend going there and camping on the lake.

We stayed at site 60 at Spinreel sand camp. Lots of glass from bottles all over sand. Site has really degraded since we were there two years ago. Will definitely consider somewhere else next time booking on the coast.

There seemed to be an extremest political rally at this campground which seemed strange since it’s on public land and these people are generally against social programs.

Arrival & departure

  • You must occupy your site within 24 hours of your arrival; otherwise, it will be released as a no-show.

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.
