Nice spacious sites on the lake! Bathrooms were very well stocked and clean. Front lady at the gate when we arrived was very helpful and informative. My only complaint is that the rules stayed quiet hours after 10pm including generators. The staff wasn’t on top of that for the last night we stayed. Campers next to us had their loud generator running the whole night.

Amazing small park, lots of trees, most spaces are on the water. All spaces looked to be very easy to back into. Lots of afternoon/evening sun on the campers. Amazing views and easy access to the water. A very well kept park. Consumer cellular works as well as AT&T but Verizon does not. Lots of alligator far - they wont mess with you in the water. Catfish was biting and was 12" to 2' in length. My family does catch and release. Kayaking and Paddle boarding was easy as there is a small island just off the shore for a bit of protection from boaters if you are a first timer. It is near there that the fishing was good. The restroom/showers (atleast the one I went to) was very clean - meaning no critters watching you and nothing left behind from previous client. I am a huge fan of this park.

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

  • Contact the Whitney Lake Project Office for information and burn ban details.

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.
