We were in group site B. This site was clean and felt tucked away with plenty of room for multiple campers/trailers. Only complaint is off roaders/non campers using Onion Creek Road would drive down to our site to use the vault toilet. Numerous times members at our camp had to wait on the restroom that we paid for and was part of our site because non campers were using it.

We booked both A and B and had our name on the posted schedule. We booked these for our wedding and had letters from the blm saying we could be there. When we showed up the morning of our wedding there was people in both sites saying that they had booked and somehow also paid for the sites. One of the sites was absolutely trashed, tents everywhere, cars everywhere, and literal trash everywhere. When we called the blm they said there was no way for them to help us. This completely ruined our wedding day. We even called the local non emergency police and the sheriff said they couldn't do anything, when we had letters stating we could be there AND our name was on the group site calendar.

Been going here for 20+ years. Pricing for a group is very expensive. At $108 per night, It takes 8-10 people to make it fairly priced. Other than that, LOve the place and many memories

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.
