Could be a really nice campground. Sites are spacious and outer loop sites have beautiful lake views and access. Hook ups were good and cell signal was strong. Our firepit grate was broken. Roads inside the park are terrible with crumbling asphalt and abundant potholes. Our site had many bits of trash from a previous camper: cigarette butts, broken bits of plastic and metal, a large plastic bag down the hill toward the lake with leftover food and trash in it. Trees along our pad needed trimming for us to park our fifth wheel without scratching the sides. There is a dump station but the road to it is blocked by trees. In our 6 days there, we never saw anyone at the gatehouse. Perhaps funding is down and they are unable to tackle some capital improvements like the roads, but service from hosts/employees could definitely be improved.

The showers need serious attention. Roof vents and no heat make it ice cold on a cold day. The sprayers provide only a very narrow stream of water. The exit gate needs some leveling. The good? Hosts keep track of people coming in and out and the sites are very large with many beautiful views.

  • Vehicle entry is not allowed into the park after sunset.

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.
