It's a beautiful spot that feels like it's being wrecked by groups of partiers. With no camp host on site, anything goes. Loud music, karaoke parties, site squatters, messy sites. The shame of it is that there is abundant wildlife, including loads of birds. Good luck hearing them if you're unfortunate enough to camp with the types of people that seem drawn to this location.

A comfortable campground with sites large enough that you can spread multiple tents out with great views. If you are a birder, this is the place for you with a variety of wildlife sightings. My group was the only group there for the three nights we camped and we all had cell service. The only issue we had is that the wasps were horrible during our stay. Anytime you had food out or were trying to cook, you got swarmed. Two of us got stung so when it’s peak wasp season, be wary during the day.

Beautiful location, nice campsites. Very few people. Unfortunately, the people who were there before us didn't want to walk to the vault toilet and used the "behind the tree" method. Yuck. The campground map shows a water faucet in the middle of the campground but I did not see it anywhere.

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.
