This was our first time stay and we love it! It’s beautiful, peaceful, and family friendly! Lots of room on your sites, amazing views, sandy beach area with roped off swimming area, nice playground for the kiddos, staff are super friendly! We will got sure be coming back, I highly recommend! Also, not sure if it was just luck that we come on a weekend they had planned a carnival or if it is something they do, maybe they do different events, but that was also fun for the kids!

Although, we didn't have any service at all, we had the perfect spot by the water. The campground was clean and quiet. Each site was comfortably spaced apart. As this was our first time taking our camper out, it will be very hard to beat this one.

This was our first time visiting Salt Lick Campground. We were at site 98. The picnic table was sitting on a slope to the point if you sit anything on it, it would roll off. There was plenty of level ground to put it on. So had no use of a table. The bath house showers needs some work. You could not even lock the door to shower, there was no hooks, bench, no shelf or anything to put you bath products on or even lay you towels and cloths.

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.
