Great site, plenty of room for 3 tents and 2 cars. Lots of shade. Easy walk to the water. It was quiet at night. Will be back!

Lower Falls is a beautiful place and remote. The roads are rough getting there and caution is urged when driving along the curves. We loved the ability to visit the waterfalls and enjoy the trails. Trails from Middle Falls to Upper Falls are not for the faint since they're steep and rough (not as well maintained). However, pack lot of patience and appreciation for the environment. Site for camping (car/tent) was amazing. Thank you for proving a gem in the rough...

The river was beautiful and calming. There were several easier access points above the falls for wading, skipping stones, and enjoying the water, but the access to the swimming hole below the falls was a treacherous climb down a steep slope. As for the campgrounds, the sites were spacious and the kids enjoyed biking. The pit toilets are as one would expect. There was only one running water by pump in the upper loop. There is no firewood for sale at the site. We enjoyed a quiet hike in the woods, but the last bit to Middle Falls had washed out and there was no mileage markings on the sign to say how much further the detour would be. As for getting to the campgrounds, the last 30 miles of the road was full of dips and sections of gravel with lots of potholes.

  • 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.

  • 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.
