We were disappointed at the low water level. I guess it was too early in the year. My wife and I and a friend were the only campers in the campground.
On a positive note, the pit toilets were very clean.

It was nice and quiet with only one other site taken. Beautiful view and nice access to the river. Park ranger was by every morning to make a drive by. I also got a private show to the jets flying low in the valley. Sites were easy to access and decently level. Just all around lovely place to spend some time.

Sites were clean and campground was well cared for. River was quite low at this time (end of August) and very weedy in front of the camp but it was still a nice setting. I would however caution visitors to keep there equipment secure. While I was in town to get supplies, some lowlifes stole several items from my camp. A neighbor camper saw two people in my camp going though my stuff and we reported it to the Park Ranger. He said it was rare for this to happen there but it certainly did in my case. It's impractical to have to fully demobilize your camp whenever you want to step away and visit other sites in the area so just make sure nothing of value is left behind (as it was in my case fortunately). A sad reality in this day and age ...

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.
