well kept ct with some nice riverside sites for tenting. Good pit toilet. Would like to see a potable water source. Mid September and there were still quite a few skeeters.

Great location and very good facilities. Very quiet for how close the campground is to the highway and railway.

Campsite was nice and first few days we saw and heard lots owls, bat, and other wildlife. Water wasn't great but was accessible. Highly recommend bringing plenty of potable water with you.

We have stayed at this campground three times. It's a beautiful and peaceful place, usually. The last time we were there, a boat went roaring upriver blasting Michael Jackson music around 8:30 p.m. Then, there was about an hour of gunshots coming from the west, fairly constant, until after dark. I realize this is out of the park's control, and I am sure we will stay there again. Plenty of space between campsites, the campsites are pretty short. Lots of room for trash in the dumpster, and the vault toilet was very clean. Campground information has also been updated to include no water available in this campground. Thank you National Recreation Area for this campground.

By far our favorite campground. Have stayed here several times. It is small and intimate with a decent amount of spacing between the individual campsites. Friendly people. Extraordinary views of the Kettle River. Easy access to a swimming area. Dog friendly. See our photos at TucotheLurcher on Instagram, of our most recent stay.

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.
