## Charges & Cancellations

 No Show Policy A no-show customer is one who does not arrive at a campground and does not cancel the reservation by check-out time on the day after the scheduled arrival date (or for day-use facilities, by check-in time the day of arrival). \* No-show customers are only recorded at staffed facilities. At most remote facilities, all customers are noted as automatically checked-in on the date of arrival. \* It is recommended that staffed facilities hold a campsite until check-out time on the day following the arrival date. \* It is recommended that staffed facilities hold group day-use facilities until check-in time on the arrival date. There is no change fee if a customer extends or shortens a reservation if the change includes dates from the original reservation. If they choose to depart early, they may forfeit some or all of the recreation fees. There is no change fee if the customer changes campsites that are the same price and on the same reservation dates in the same campground. If the campsite the customer is changing to has a price difference, the customer will be responsible for any additional fees or be provided with a refund, based on the price difference. Where recorded, no-show customers are assessed a $20.00 no-show fee and forfeit the first night's recreation fee for a campsite or forfeit the entire day-use recreation fee for a day-use facility. We recommend customers contact the facility if they are en route to their reservation but cannot make it by the check-in date. In these cases, no refund will be issued, but the facility can ensure that a \"no-show\" fee is not assessed.

The Best Camping Near Camptonville, California

If you own a boat, camp here! There's good fishing, water skiing and a fun family friendly campground. Dark Day is a drive up camp, but there's boat in camping available at the lake as well.

Boating and Camping!

Clean fun, great lake

We stayed here for one night and there were people up drinking and playing loud music until about 3am. Also, our fire pit was full of broken glass bottles, plastic bottles and empty beer cans from whoever had stayed the night before (embers were still burning when we arrived). There is no host here so I guess no one to really keep an eye on things. I wouldn’t count on getting a good nights sleep here, but the location is lovely.
