There were small white worms falling out of the pine trees onto our picnic table and into our food. There seems to be an infestation in the trees that needs to be taken care of. We ended up moving our cooking and eating area out from under the trees as the insects were falling into our food. Please take care of this problem as it has been going on for a couple of years and is beginning to kill the trees.

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

Lorna and her family are the most wonderful camp hosts! They are very kind, helpful, and thoughtful. We were two young women and they made us feel very safe. They check in with you a few times a day to make sure you're doing well, remind you that they have a satellite phone since there's no service in the area, etc etc. The restrooms are very well maintained and there's a lot of shade in the area. Would love to camp here again!

Tamara is a very friendly Camp Host, does her job very well. We would like to camp wherever she is the Host. Camp grounds were clean and the Pines and shade were a welcoming sight. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks Tamara for being the best Camp Host ever!!!!

Perhaps I should say how crappy it was so no one else will take my spot. Clean water, clean air, clean latrines, sweet Ponderosa aroma, trees just right for my hammock. Smooth paved roads for my tandem, friendly host. Great experience.

- 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.
