I loved my site location and there was a lovely peace to be found. The site was clean and spacious. The only thing that I think could be improved was the showers. There was no bench or hooks or anywhere to place to put your shower bag except on the wet floor.

A natural gas line is being installed on the far shoreline to the east of the park. For quests on the our side of the park ( we were in site 147) there was constant noise of Caterpillar machinery clanking back and forth, with the beeper beeping with each forward or aft move. The hill behind the operation amplified the noise. This occurred all the days we were there ( April 9 - 11) from 8 AM till 530 pm one evening and 7 pm the other evening. And Saturday too. Since peace and quiet is an implied feature of a campground, I feel there should have been a notice/banner to warn perspective quests during the reservation process. We would have gone elsewhere. We don't know what their completion date is.

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.
