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.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
