The Dean Gardner campground loop online map didn’t match the layout of the campsites on that loop when we arrived. We booked this trip about 2 weeks prior to the camping weekend. The spot we got was nicer than the one we actually reserved. We originally reserved a spot on the inside of the south end of the loop, but ended up with a spot a little more spread out on the outside of the south end of the loop across from the spot we reserved. It doesn’t look like the map has been fixed, we reserved D10 and the online map shows what we got as being D11. This was our second trip to Pine Valley and our first time on the Dean Gardner loop. It’s a very nice campground and we’ll definitely stay at Pine Valley again.

- 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.
