Campsites: You must be at least 21 years old to reserve a campsite. If a reservation is cancelled more than 2 weeks prior to the arrival date we issue a full refund, minus a $25 transaction fee; or Camp Credit in the full amount can be elected. For a cancellation of a reservation more than 1 week, but less than 2 weeks, prior to the arrival date we issue Camp Credit for 50% of the payment and the balance is forfeited.
