This is our favorite spot. The campground is clean, well kept and quiet with the ability to enjoy the noise from loons, owls and frogs.

We love this campground and this site. It had plenty of privacy between the sites and was on the water and 1 site away from the beach and right across from the bathrooms. This campground was very quiet and well maintained and the beach was nice. The other campers were very respectful of one another and the rules. We really enjoyed listening to the loons and the other wildlife we were able to view.

Stayed two nights. First night the campsite next to us was quite loud up to after midnight. It was discussed with the campground hosts and the Forest Service Ranger. There were no issues the second night and the camping experience was pleasant. We would go back to camp there again in the future.

- 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.
