There was no camp host so no reservations where posted. Fortunately, there was no conflicts. The stock water was on, but the hoses that are normally available where not out. We did see a ranger driving through twice which was great. A fantastic experience overall. Hopefully, the camp host and stock water situation will be smoother for everyone next year. Thank you to the staff still working and keeping the doors open.

The central bathroom was full. It’s the second week of July. So full it’s splashed your backside when having a morning uh-hem! Then to top it off, the hoses were gone. The water sprockets were NOT on. If you wanted water, you had to hand pump it and then haul it over to your horse paddock. It was a workout. No camp host this season. We are under a new contract that isn’t hands on and let non-horse people camp here again. This is cyclic folks. I pray they get a grip on this before summers end. I was scheduled to come back in September for a week. I’m keeping an eye on other posts on whether to cancle or not.

  • Contact the area manager for questions as there is no host on site.

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.
