Good mostly level sites with wonderful views, fire pits, picnic tables. Rest room kept as clean as could be expected for vault toilets.
The only thing that could have made the experience better was to have a Park Ranger come through in the evening, 8 / 10 pm and ask the campers at the end of the campground, sites 5 - 6 to turn the music and partying DOWN which went on until about midnight.
If reservations for Kettle River Campground are going to be required then the Park Rangers need to moniter the campground.

This was a break-in trip for our trailer. We had a couple of problems not related to the campsite. The temperatures were extreme(highs over 100 degrees). Lots of trees producing shade and the river was great.

We really enjoyed our visit to Kettle River Campground. The view of the river is amazing and we loved swimming, kayaking, and watching the eagles across the water. We're excited to visit again!

People came in on Friday night and sang karaoke music full blast after we went to bed. We had to leave a day early. It sounded like we were in a bar.

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.
