Love this location. Pit toilet building clean, even had garbage bag inside and soap at outside spigot, but the door's handle needed to be repaired, was a little loose and could not be locked properly. A person walked in on a person in our party because of this. We are sure it will be fixed quickly.

We had a fantastic stay at the Ponderosa campground! The entire place was incredibly clean, including the pit toilets. Watch out for bushes with thorns. The nearby creek drowns out most noise. Overall a wonderful experience and we would highly recommend this campground.

Bathrooms (pit toilets) were very clean and handwashing station outside each was much appreciated. Beautiful camping setting. Very impressed.

Camp hosts were wonderful. Sites were clean and well maintained. Frustrating that there was no water...seems like the water system could be repaired fairly easily, but we worked through it.

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.
