It was a large site with privacy. We got our 20-foot RV and left it attached to the jeep with a few feet to spare. There was also space for an additional vehicle and a large tent area. Bathrooms were cleaned regularly, and the camp host was friendly. The drinkable water pump can be found on the upper loop. We enjoyed walking down to the water several times a day; unfortunately, you couldn't really hear the water from this particular site. We did the 6ish-mile hike up to the upper falls, which was absolutely gorgeous. The Road to the campground had been recently graveled, so there were no potholes, but most of it was paved.

Absolutely amazing campsite. We stayed at site 4 and it was very large and tucked away from other sites. A few minute walk to the lower falls and you could hear the waterfalls rushing from the campsite. It was a perfect stay.

This spot was perfect for a 2 night trip. Loved hearing the water from our campsite, #18. Spaces were spacious and not too close to one another. The water spigot in our loop was shut down, but it’s not a far walk to the spigot at the entrance of the upper loop. The falls were stunning and the hike was easy, offering many opportunities to access the water and plenty to admire along the way. Highly recommend!

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

Check out time

1PM

  • Bring your reservation confirmation to the campground.
  • The campground opens in mid-May.

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.
