| Changes to Reservations NO REFUNDS. Reservation changes will only be allowed if the camping reservation in question is more than 14 days prior to the planned check-in date. Users must edit their own reservation including site number, dates and name. Rescheduled camping dates must fall before September 30th of the following year. If the edit results in a higher amount due, the customer will be asked for a credit card. If it results in a lower amount, a promo code will be generated for the remaining amount. The code must be used by December 31st of the year it was issued. If a campsite remains unoccupied by 3:00 pm on the day following the original check-in day it can be opened for drive-ins. |
