For the hikers, there are numerous trails in the area but trails #6108 and #6109 are located just behind the campground (pick up a visitor map or contact the North Fork District Office for more information). During certain parts of the year berry picking can be excellent around the campground.

No availability snapshot inside the last 36 hours, so this page draws nothing rather than ageing a reading into fiction.

What you actually pay
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.
