What Guests Are Saying
Johnson Creek Day Use offers a spacious location with beautiful lake views and a pleasant breeze. However, the grill requires maintenance, and the overhead light in the pavilion could benefit from easier access. Overall, it's a lovely spot for outdoor activities.

The grill needs a little love. Also it would be nice if the large overhead light was accessible to switch on in the pavilion. The location is nice and large. Great view of the lake and stayed breezy.

We rented the pavilion to celebrate getting married and I could not recommend it enough!!
Entire process was easy; from booking, check in and clean up.
Beautiful views and everything you could need for a large lake day.

- 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.
