## 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.
