Website is reasonably easy to use; however, I canNOT cancel a reservation online, although I have tried multiple times over the years.
Telephone personnel provides excellent assistance with cancellations and new reservations: Professional and courteous.

At Johnson creek: Very nice camping site. We went for a little getaway mid- week and left on a Friday. Nice relaxing place to be.

Camp staff very courteous and helpful. Only complaint is the septic system at site G015 needs updated to handle the advertised 100 person occupancy. Other than that problem we loved the spot and plan to book it every year for our annual event.

We stayed in E411 for 3 nights in a motor home. It was very difficult to back into the site. It wasn't directly on the water, but across the street from the water. We were very close to the boat ramp which made it easy to beach our boat and walk up to our site. When we left, we stopped at the dump station which was under construction. It was a little difficult to find the dump receptacle. It was overall a good experience and we would stay there again, but in a different site.

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.
