Modification and cancellation policy

Reduced-stay fees waived for majority of 2020 camping season
As we navigate the ever-changing circumstances surrounding COVID-19 and to help campers feel confident about keeping their summer plans in the books, the DNR is waiving reduced-stay fees through Oct. 31, 2020.
For the majority of the 2020 camping season, reduced-stay fees are waived for reservations canceled after March 12 regardless of how long camping reservations were held. The nonrefundable reservation fee ($8 for reservations made online and $10 for those made through the call center) and $10 cancellation fee will still be assessed.
After a reservation is made, campsite reservations cannot be canceled or modified more than five months prior to the arrival date.
The following fees will be assessed if customers cancel or modify their camping reservation 1) prior to the arrival date or 2) on or after the arrival date.
- 1. Nonrefundable reservation fee: Fee ($8 for reservations made online and $10 for reservations made through the call center) paid at the time a reservation is booked.
- 2. $10 cancellation/modification fee.
- 3. Reduced-stay fee: Incremental fee determined by the length of time a reservation is held and the number of eligible nights canceled (see sliding modification/cancellation formula below).
- a. If canceled or modified prior to the arrival date, all unused camp nights are eligible for the reduced-stay fee per the sliding modification/cancellation formula.
- b. If canceled on the day of arrival or later, the first night’s fee and the cost of any nights that have already passed will be charged at the full rate. Any remaining unused nights are eligible for a refund using the sliding modification/cancellation formula.
Reservations that are canceled on the same day the reservation was created will be assessed the $10 cancellation/modification fee only.
Modifications to reservations that do not affect the length of stay will only be assessed the $10 cancellation/modification fee.
Modifications to reservations that result in an increase in the length of stay only will be assessed the additional nights’ fees and NOT the $10 cancellation/modification fee.
Reservations are held until 3 p.m. two days after the scheduled arrival date. Failure to check in within 48 hours of the check-in time on arrival date will result in a “no-show” status and will incur the loss of two nights' fees plus the reduced-stay fee (assessed on remaining unused nights using the sliding modification/cancellation formula).
Sliding modification/cancellation formula Months reservation held % of unused nights charged up to 2 months 10% 2 to 3 months 15% 3 to 4 months 20% 4 to 5 months 30% 5 or more months 40% Reducing the number of nights after a camp is established at the park
Once checked in at the park, if customers choose to reduce their stay or check out early, a refund will be calculated as a percentage of unused camp night fees based on the number of months the reservation has been held (see sliding modification/cancellation formula)
If the customer checks out before 1 p.m., that night’s camp fees will be included in the refund formula. If the customer checks out after 1 p.m., that night’s camp fees will NOT be included in the refund formula.
