What Guests Are Saying
Canal Creek is an excellent location for group gatherings, featuring spacious campsites and a lovely campfire area perfect for making s'mores. The site is clean and well-maintained, with a pleasant babbling brook nearby. However, the removal of the bridge connecting the campground to the pavilion is a drawback, as it limits access to the swimming hole and hinders group connectivity.

Nice spot, clean and well kept. We were sad to see that the bridge over the creek that links the campground and pavilion/field has been removed, and not replaced. The bridge is important for connecting larger groups that might rent both area, and for providing access to the creek swimming hole. Please replace the bridge!

This group campsite is so beautiful and remote with Canal Creek encircling it and giant firs and spruce trees towering over it. So many group sites are close to noisy roads. This place is really special. The vault toilets were clean and well stocked. Our group was treated to the most memorable experience of hearing the calls of marbled murrelets and seeing the little seabirds returning to and leaving their nests at dusk and dawn.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
