We went at the end of Aug and it was amazing. The weather was fabulous, the scenery was breathtaking and the facilities were clean. We are definitely planning to visit again!

We always love our stays at Salt Lick, but we also want to repeat that funds should remain at Salt Lick to continue improvements there. Thanks for repainting the restrooms. The shower stall doors still need some type of lock to prevent them from being opened when an individual is showering. There also need to be some type of hook for hanging clothes within the shower stalls. Thanks for the WiFi connection at the front gate, but there should be an extender further in the campground just like they have at Defeated Creek. Other than that, we want to thank everyone for their great work towards keeping Salt Lick one of our favorite campgrounds. We are looking forward to our trip there on September 18th. We are taking two new couples who have never been, but heard us talking about Salt Lick and wanted to camp there.

We were in site 97 and the site was very nice. The shower house could use a better shower system. The shower water makes it way to the bench and what’s suppose to be the dry area. The campsites are very close together, almost sitting on top of each other.
That all being said, this is a very pretty campground. The hostess was full of energy when we checked in and explained it all very clearly. We saw deer every single time we made the circle (it’s a one way). The grounds are kept very well. This definitely a great place to camp!

Policies & Rules
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.
