What Guests Are Saying

Group Camp B is a spacious and well-maintained site ideal for large groups, though the car parking is about 100 yards from the fire ring and tent pads, necessitating multiple trips for gear. It is conveniently located near excellent backpacking trails and primitive campsites, making it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. The nearby river and Signal Knob loop offer beautiful views, particularly in winter.

Wonderful as always. We had a huge rainstorm, the trail to the parking lot was quite a river, but our campsite didn't flood at all.

Excellent campsite for 45 scouts and scouters. Six separate campsite areas each with its own fire ring, picnic table, and two large tent pads. The six campsite areas surround a group picnic area with a large fire ring, four picnic tables and benches. A male and female restroom and parking area is 100 yards from the campsite.

I love this campsite! We did an extended family camp out. We love the large fire pit for lots of camp cooking. The kids did a lot of fishing (finally caught something right before we went home - a 5-inch little guy that was promptly released!) and we did a nice hike from the day-use area.

Website listed site as open, but the gate was closed and I was unable to park my car. Wound up driving to the Family Campground down the road- fortunately there was one open so close.

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.
