This is such a beautiful campground, especially in the Fall. The Ponderosas are majestic against the Fall foliage. The campground hostess, Bridget, is helpful and friendly.

We made our reservation on line and payed our money five days in advance. When we arrived someone else was in our camp sight. Our name wasn't on the camp sight post and later when the camp host came, there was no record of confirmation that we had made a reservation! I wasn't a happy camper.

My 9th season in Ponderosa. This was the first year Monday night (Labor Day) could be reserved instead of FF. To my surprise, the rest of the month also changed from FF to A and someone reserved the site I intended to stay in out from under me. Had I not found out at the last minute, I would have been set up for 10 days when the other folks arrived. The status’s were all changed sometime in that last week prior to Labor Day. I will pay closer attention next year as the date gets closer. Not even the campground Host was aware of the change.
Luckily I was able to find an alternate site and reserve it for the remainder of my stay.
Love the campground!!
Stayed in #6 many times, until it was decided to turn that site into a Double Site and charge a double fee. The only change made to it was adding a second table & benches. Everything else is the same as it has been for years. The available ground space is less than it used to be due to the installation of the second table on a concrete pad. Driveway is still only “single wide”.

- 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.
