It was very nice, a great location, the 1 BIG problem is that there is ABSOLUTELY no cell reception. There was no way of contacting someone in case of emergency. There was no attendant most of the time. At one point we as well as everyone near us lost power (it was 80+ degrees outside), lucky for all of us, the landscapers showed up to work and they were able to contact someone to fix the power.
It is very scary to think what would happen in case of a real emergency: medical condition, accident, swimming accident, drowning, someone missing in the park, A fire, or any other emergency you can think of.

Always enjoy Salt Lick. The. Only thing that would make it an excellent stay is the availability of cell service. Not that we don’t want to get away from the phone, but would really like to have them for emergencies at home, and for weather situations, such as approaching storms.

Beautiful quiet campground. There is a lot of interesting water for kayaking, not too small and not too big. Very little boat traffic.

Overall, the experience was good. It was beautiful and peaceful, just what we were looking for. Only problem was one of the shower houses was not available for use. This went on for at least a week. The campground was pretty packed on the weekend. Unknown what the problem was.

Only problem I have is not much cell service. And people reserve a site, then when we get there no one is on it and not on it the whole time we're there.

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.
