Kettle River Campground is very nice. The reason I rated our experience as only good is: We had trouble with a person that was in our site #6 using her phone. We told her that we had the site #6 reserved and the RV is here. Those were our exact words. She left in her gray Chev Avalanche. About 20 minutes later her husband drove up and charged into our camp site accusing us of being rude to his wife and disrespectful. We tried to explain but he was very nasty and wouldn't listen. He told us that he lived near by and that he runs people out of the camp ground all the time and he was going to run us out also and you'll see. We found where he lives just down from the junk store that is at the entrance to the park. 3rd house down on the left side is where the gray Chev Avalanche is parked in front of their house with several junk cars on the property. Also, other local people park their vehicles in the camp sites to walk their dogs or do other things. leaving their vehicles unoccupied when campers show up and can't set up camp until the people get back from whatever they do. We have a dog and keep it on a rope or leash under control. So many times others don't leash their dogs and it takes the fun out of us having our dog and obeying the rules. Anyway, Thank you and we hope you have a good idea on how to deal with such people that think only they have a right and the rules don't apply to them.

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.

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.
