This ended up being a great, remote, QUIET site, but BEWARE the road down to this campground is steep, rutted and 3 miles long! And just to get to the entry road, Highway 12 climbs a steep mountain. Once you get there it's great, with a nice fishin hole (trout) and level lots with firepit/table. One clean pittoilet bathroom as well.

This was our first time staying at the campground! There's only 4 camps spots which is awesome! Most of people camping in area seemed respectful & courteous of each other! We didnt encounter any issues. We'll be back w/our entire family to camp out especially the grandkids lol. Unfortunately thunderstorm system surprised us outta nowhere so we were unable to fish. But we made the best of time w/great friends! Pack it in pack it out!

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.
