Arrived at campground (after an 8 hour detour around Yellowstone National Park) only to be greeted by a closed and locked gate with a sign stating the campground was closed. No one notified us ahead of time of the closure. We had to find last-minute alternative accommodations for the night.

half of the campground was closed due to recent rains which also closed yellowstone park. several of the sites, including the one we were to stay on had significant damage. Camp Host was working by hand to restore sites and redirected us to one he had completed. He had determined to service as many campers as possible. I comment his work and attitude as one of the best camp hosts we have encountered. they also had spotless and odorless toilets. I was a great location not too far from Cody and close to Yellowstone

During the night prior to my reservation Wapiti was closed due to flooding. While Recreation.gov has all my contact information and regularly sends me updates and notices on upcoming reservations, they did not bother to warn us of this closure. I was livid upon our arrival in the late afternoon when I first learned that I could not stay there and no other option could be promised. Wapiti managers and I assume, Rec.gov had known for at least 10 hours the campground was closed. What a failure of customer service!! We are still on the road finishing a long road trip but when I return home I will be contacting rec.gov for a full refund and some explanation about what went wrong. I am very disappointed in their performance.

Policies & Rules
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.
