I love this campground so much that I've stayed 3 times this year! The only things I could say that didn't make it absolutely perfect were the burn ban, (which is out of our control), and the hand sanitizer in the bathroom being empty. Beyond that it was everything we needed it to be. Thank you!

Beautiful campground; we had it mostly to ourselves. We left earlier than anticipated due to lack of productive fishing. We loved our time there.

Kettle River campground is a true hidden gem. Beautiful year around with varing water levels, lots of great walking, and areas for the dogs to run and play. Easy to navigate through the park with our 30 foot 5th wheel. We really enjoy the small size of only 12 camping spots and they are spaced out very well. We also really enjoy the fact this campground is reservations only.

Beautiful area. Sort of overtaken by inconsiderate locals as a day use area, despite there being no day use area parking, and they sort of converged on campsites. Wonderful spot tho.

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.
