In the agency’s own words
Haag Cove is a quiet, isolated campground on Lake Roosevelt’s west side. Sites are spread out along the shoreline in an open area with scattered pine trees. The open setting does not allow for much privacy between sites, but provides sweeping views of the lake to most campers. The campground is typically quiet though it may fill on holidays and weekends. There is not a boat launch or courtesy dock. Keep reading

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the agency’s published rate for this season, $23 a night, plus one $8 recreation.gov reservation fee for the booking. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night, booked once. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.

Who keeps the booking fee
The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.
