Bugs were terrible. Biting flies all day long. All of us went home a day early with 40+ bug bites.

Lots of big trucks doing construction on the dirt road we were camped on. Starting at 730 in the morning there was lots of noise from the trucks. Definitely not the peaceful get away we were hoping for. Hoping there is a way campers w reservations can be notified in the future - we would have cancelled had we known. Thanks

Would have been nice if the campground areas could have been sprayed for mosquitoes
Campgrounds and restrooms were very clean

while there are vault toilets, they are nearly a mile from some of the campsites making it very inconvenient

Cons- Mosquitoes terrible- used repellent aggressively yet still got many bites.
Very Dusty and dirty. Stayed inside trailer for meals due to dust and mosquitoes. Left a day early.
Pit toilet a long walk from campsite, usually drove to it.
Pros- Campsite large, private and secluded
Scenic drive beautiful
Nice tables and fire pit- shaded in the evening, brought a canopy to have shade during day.
Many scenic atv trails- although hot and dusty
Cleveland lake looks close on map, yet it’s a steep hike to get to. We drove to Huntington reservoir to kayak and loved it. Less mosquitos there.

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.
