Beautiful view and very quiet. The bugs were out and about, but if you are into deep woods camping, this is the place for you. We stopped for just one night and enjoyed the peace and quiet. Vault bathrooms were clean. No cell service.

Beautiful! Yes, lots of mosquitos. But great location, lovely. There was no camp host, though, which would have been a good addition.

As a tent camper, it’s frustrating not to be separated from RVs. It would be nice if there was a tent-only section and an RV section. One RV completely blocked my view of the lake, while the one next to me ran its generator all night long. i’m not sure why campsites are designed like sardine cans it’s really frustrating, as especially tent campers are looking for peace and quiet… And doesn’t everybody yearn for more privacy when they go camping? Instead, everyone is staring into each others business.

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.
