Nice friendly folks, small and quiet but very close to the highway. Didn't explore any so can't speak to that but this is a great spot for an overnighter, passing through in my case.

Very good camp host’s but there hasn’t been water at the taps for over two years and very dangerous cottonwood trees that need to be trimmed or cut down. Winds came through while we were camping and knocked one of those trees over and injured a man and just missed hitting and possibly killing two people. $22 per night is to much without water and the danger of old and diseased trees. Forest service needs to fix these problems and until then we won’t be back which is sad because we have stayed at Ponderosa many times.

A beautiful area! Toilets are kept very clean. Visit Devils Kitchen. We just wished the water was working. Camp hosts are great!

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.
