Very bumpy road out there, but worth it. Such an incredible place. Only 1 water spout in the whole place and it was quite a walk from our site.

The calendar allowed us to reserve the first day & stated the following 2 days were "FF" first-come, first serve - so we booked expecting to be able to stay all 3 days. We returned from a day trip to the falls to find the ranger in our site who said we had to leave, someone else had the site reserved, he went on to say this location hasn't been FF for over 4 years and they've had "issues" with the app. There is no cell service so there was no way to call or look anything up, we could argue that we had a reservation, we just had to pack up & go. The people who supposedly booked the site were in another site & would walk & bike by, coming in to the site to "check" on us multiple times, causing our dogs to be anxious & protective, then we had a drunk couple stop by & yell at us because the dog kept barking at all the people who kept coming into our space. It was by far one of the worst camping trips I've been on, and I will never use the app again for reservations.

This campsite was fantastic! Most of the sites here were nice, but we enjoyed having a lot of space between us and our neighboring site. I preferred the lower loop to be closer to the river. Note there was no host on site, so things like firewood or walk up bookings were a no go.

Spacious and shaded, clean sites and toilet. Campers were kind and quiet for there being many RVs (no generators going, though early in the season). Wonderful host (offered activity booklet w/crayons for my kid). 100% 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.

Vehicles & parking

  • The road to the campground is rough; high clearance or 4WD vehicles are recommended.

  • Electricity is not available, and cell phone reception is poor.

Fees & deposits

  • The camping fee covers one vehicle and one towed vehicle; additional vehicles incur an $8.00/night fee.

Cancellation policy

  • Failure to arrive by the next day incurs a $20 fee and forfeits the first night's fee.
