Camping Pro Tip: Avoid automatic cancellation and loss of fees by arriving and checking in no later than 3 p.m. on the second day of your reservation.

This policy has been in place for years to help ensure fair access to camping opportunities. By automating this process, we can quickly open up unoccupied sites for other campers to enjoy.

If your plans change and you’ll be arriving later than expected, just hop onto the reservation website or call 800-447-2757 to adjust your arrival date. Otherwise, you'll lose two nights' stay, non-refundable reservation, $10 cancellation and reduced-stay fees.

Since our system handles these updates automatically, park staff are not able to manually override a cancellation once it happens. Please be sure to update your booking ahead of time.
