I have trouble with my knees and back and it was raining when we got there took forever to get our tent set up rained a little bit off and on our air mattresses went down so I had to keep airing them up every couple of hours but the campground itself is very nice probably won't be able to tent camp anymore

WE CAMP AT SALT LICK ONLY. WISH IT WAS OPEN LONGER SO WE COULD ENJOY THE FALL COLORS. THE SITE NEEDS SOME WORK IN THE ENTRANCE WHERE YOU BACK IN. BIG DROP ON THE EDGES, ALSO THE SITE NEEDS GRAVEL ON IT WHERE THE ELECTRIC HAS BEEN WORKED ON AND WATER LINES HAVE BEEN WORKED. TREE ROOTS NEED TO BE CUT OUT OR COVERED UP. WE LOVE SIGHT 90 BUT DO NOT WANT TO TWIST AN ANKLE. MY TRAILER AND BOAT DRAG WHEN LEAVING OR BACKING IN THE SITE. LIZZY HAS BEEN A GREAT HOST. WHEN I CHECKED IN ON TUESDAY I LEFT THE PAPER WORK IN MY WIFE'S CAR AND GOT MY CAMPSITE CHECK IN PASS FOR 90 I DID NOT NOTICE THE AFTER HOURS NUMBER WAS NOT STAMPED ON IT. I FELT BAD BUT HAD TO BOTHER LIZZY BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET BACK IN. SHE CAME OUT AND USED HER CLICKER TO LET ME BACK IN. I APOLOGIZED BUT DID NOT HAVE MUCH OF A CHOICE, I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY ABOUT 6 PM. THOUGHT SOMEONE WOULD BE IN THE CHECK-IN SHED TIL 7PM.

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.
