Such a well-designed campground in an amazing setting! The waterfalls are gorgeous as is the surrounding woodlands. Too many litterbugs!

love the campsite and the campground. waterfalls are lovely trails are nice campsites are clean and spacious but not crowded next to each other, flat tent sites, nice tables. only negative is the water supply. only one of the two hand pumped wells works and water tastes a little oily. rusty tasting too, but that is not bad

Good layout. Very clean. Good to have hiking trails adjacent to campground. However I do not recommend staying at site #14 due to odor coming from restroom vent across street

What a gorgeous area! So many waterfalls! The Lower Falls close to the campground are easily accessible and simply spectacular; the trail to the Upper Falls area is family friendly. Lots of places to explore nearby. My only complaint was with the reservation system. We were hoping to find a basecamp spot for 5 straight days - willing to move if necessary. It appeared the campground was nearly full, and even though at the end of the season, I was scrambling to find a spot. Actually, there was hardly anyone there. All the sites were marked "reserved" but few showed up. I can't imagine there would be so many no-shows. We ended up with a site on the upper loop where no matter where we sat, our main view was of the restroom.

Beautiful campground with large campsites. Very clean sites and they patrol often to make sure people are out when they are supposed to be. The bathrooms were surprisingly clean also despite other reviews I read. Perhaps those visitors had been there during peak months of summer when it’s probably a lot busier. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The falls are stunning. Will definitely be back again.

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.

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