Parking a vehicle in one site and camping in another site does not comply with our policy. You must be camping in your site.

Holding a site for someone else or leaving a tent or trailer in a site unattended overnight is NOT permitted even if the site is paid for.

A person who camps at our campground or group site where a fee for camping is required, must:
(a) camp in a campsite;
(b) occupy only one campsite;
(c) not leave personal property on a campsite unless the person is camping, under the authority arising from payment of the camping fee, at that campsite, or has been authorized to leave the property on the campsite by a Site Host or Manager.

Any personal property or recreational vehicles that are left on site for the purpose of site-claiming may be removed or towed, at the owners expense.
Any camping fees paid, will be considered forfeit and no refund will be provided.

Also see:
Can I Hold a Campsite for a Friend
Can I Pay Now and Come Back Later to Camp?

NO. You can NOT hold a site for a friend, this is not considered being occupied by the intended camper.

When you arrive and pay your camping fees, you must be prepared to start camping immediately.

You are not allowed to arrive, pay for a site and then leave to get your camping unit (tent/RV). This is considered to be Site Claiming, and is not permitted.

You are not allowed to leave personal property on a campsite unless the person is camping. Placing personal property in a campsite to claim it is not considered to be occupying the site for the purpose of camping. Anyone found doing this, your property will be removed (at the owners expense), your camping permit will be voided and no refund will be provided.

Once a camping permit is issued, if a more desirable site becomes available, the fees can not be transferred and you will have to pay again if you choose to change sites.

Camping permits are Non-Transferable and Non-Refundable.

Reservations are Non-Transferable and can not be changed.

Please see each individual Campground or Group Site Page for list of campsite sizes and Tent/Trailer/RV max size limits.

Restrictions on the number of vehicles, people/tents/trailers/vehicles per site vary because all sites are different sizes and can accommodate a different number of vehicles/people.

• All camping items must be contained within the developed portion of your campsite.
• The host is allowed to restrict the number of campers in a site if they feel that noise will become an issue or if the site is becoming overcrowded.
• The original permit/reservation holder is responsible for ALL their guest.
• All extra vehicles not included in your camping or reservation fees, must pay cash upon arrival for a overnight/camping permit. (see Rates for more information).

Choosing an Appropriate Site

• We request that you choose a site that is appropriate for your camping needs. If you have two vehicles camping together, and can comfortably fit in one single site and will not surpass the max occupancy limit, please only take a single site instead of a double site or two individual sites. This will allow another family the opportunity to camp. Thank you for your consideration.

How Many People Can I have on a Site?

• Single Campsite max site occupancy 6 people on campsite (fee includes first vehicle)
• Double Campsite max site occupancy 12 people on campsite (fee includes first 2 vehicles)
• Triple Campsite max site occupancy 18 people on campsite (fee includes first 3 vehicles)

Please see our Group Site Rates for group site maximum occupancy limits.

Organized Events

• Organized sporting/competitive/group events require proper insurance coverage and must be pre-approved. No Grad parties, Raves or Festivals are permitted.

How Many Tents/Trailers can I fit on a Site?

• The number of tents/trailers/vehicles will vary depending on the size of the tents/trailers/vehicles and which campsite you choose.
  Please check the campsite descriptions provided on each individual Campground Page, to see a size description. From that description you will have to make an educated guess if your tents/trailers will fit. We can not answer all the emails asking if your tents/trailers will fit.
• All of our campsites allow tents to camp on them, however not all sites will allow trailers. The campsites that list a trailer size is to simply indicate the maximum size trailer that is suitable for that site. This also gives you a good indication what size and how many tents will fit in the site. A site that says it will fit a large trailer, if you have a small tent, the site may be oversized for your needs. We request that you choose a site that is appropriate for your camping needs, if you do not need a large trailer site, we ask that you not take it unless there are no other sites available. By taking a site larger than what you need, you may prevent a camper who needs the larger site, the opportunity to camp. Thank you for your consideration.

Trailer Sizes

• Small Trailers are up to 18’ in length.
• Medium Trailers are up to 24’ in length.
• Large Trailers are up to 27’ in length.
• Extra Large Trailers are up to 42′ in length

Vehicles may have to be disconnected from trailers in order for vehicle and trailer to both fit in your site.

Your reservation is only for the dates you choose, regardless of how many nights you are charged for due to minimum charge requirements.

Long Weekend Holiday Rate applies to the campsite itself (First Come First Serve and/or Reservations).
Extra Vehicles to an already occupied site, will only pay for the nights they plan to camp.

Due to the increased pressures associated with long weekend camping availability, a 3 Night Holiday Rate applies on All Long Weekends (as outlined below) regardless if you stay all 3 nights or not.

When the Statutory Holiday falls on a Friday, the 3 Night Holiday Fee will be for Thurs, Fri and Sat nights.

When the Statutory Holiday falls on a Monday, the 3 Night Holiday Fee will be for Fri, Sat and Sun nights.

This includes, but not limited to: errors when making a reservation, campground evictions, inclement weather, air quality, personal reasons, medical reasons, vehicle problems, vacating your campsite early, etc.

The only time we will make an exception to our cancellation and refund policy, is if we are required to close a campground and/or group site.

Please report any sightings of Bears, Cougars or other dangerous wildlife to the camp host immediately.

Bugs

Bugs and mosquitos may be present year-round. In the summer they are much more active. We are not able to predict or control the number of mosquitos that may be present at any given time. We are not able to provided updated bugs reports because this may change day to day and may be different at each of our campgrounds or group sites.

Mice and Raccoons

Mice and racoons can be found at all of our campgrounds/group sites. Please keep your site clean so that you don’t attract them.

Bears

Bears have an incredibly acute sense of smell and can smell the smallest item of food at great distances. Bears are attracted to:

• Anything that has been cooked or your are about to eat
• Dirty barbecues or camp stoves
• Any item associated with food prep or clean-up (dish rags, scrubbers, pots, pans, etc.)
• Dirty dish water. Do NOT dump in the bushes.
• Garbage, wrappers, empty bottles, cans, condiments, or anything that has been in contact with food.
• Containers for gas, oil, or other petroleum-products
• Pet food bowls
• Do not put any food items in your tent.
• Keep all food locked in a vehicle or trailer

Bears have long memories, your campsite may be clean now but if a bear received a reward there earlier, possibly by another user, it may be back so always be vigilant.

Group Sites

For Group Sites, early check-in is not available. We can not offer an early check-in for any of our group sites.

To access all of our campgrounds and group sites (except Chehalis River Camppground or Chehalis River Group Site), you will need to travel along a gravel/dirt Forest Service logging roads that may be rough and have potholes.

Forest Service Roads (FSR) are not maintained by us. It is up to the logging companies to maintain and repair these roads.

We have many people who drive their cars, trucks and trailers, to all of our campgrounds and group sites.
4 Wheel Drive is recommended especially if you are towing a trailer.

We can not guarantee your vehicle’s ability to travel logging roads, nor do we provide refunds if your vehicle is not suitable to access the campground or group site.

(b) occupy only one campsite;
(c) not leave personal property on a campsite unless the person is camping, under the authority arising from payment of the camping fee, at that campsite, or has been authorized to leave the property on the campsite by a Site Host or Manager.

You can find our Cancellation Policies at:

• Campground Cancellation Policy
• Group Site Cancellation Policy

The only change to your reservation that we will accept is to add additional nights to your current reservation.

To add additional nights, please go to the Change Reservation page, review the information provided, then fill out the form to Add Nights to your current reservation.

No changes can be made to your reservation 4 days or less, prior to your arrival date. This includes adding additional nights. Cancellations can be done anytime.

For All Other Changes, you can cancel your reservation and re-book.

Once a camping permit is issued, if a more desirable site becomes available, the fees can not be transferred and you will have to pay again if you choose to change sites.

Camping permits are Non-Transferable and Non-Refundable.

Reservations are Non-Transferable and can not be changed.

Please see each individual Campground or Group Site Page for list of campsite sizes and Tent/Trailer/RV max size limits.

Restrictions on the number of vehicles, people/tents/trailers/vehicles per site vary because all sites are different sizes and can accommodate a different number of vehicles/people.

• All camping items must be contained within the developed portion of your campsite.
• The host is allowed to restrict the number of campers in a site if they feel that noise will become an issue or if the site is becoming overcrowded.
• The original permit/reservation holder is responsible for ALL their guest.
• All extra vehicles not included in your camping or reservation fees, must pay cash upon arrival for a overnight/camping permit. (see Rates for more information).

Choosing an Appropriate Site

• We request that you choose a site that is appropriate for your camping needs. If you have two vehicles camping together, and can comfortably fit in one single site and will not surpass the max occupancy limit, please only take a single site instead of a double site or two individual sites. This will allow another family the opportunity to camp. Thank you for your consideration.

How Many People Can I have on a Site?

• Single Campsite max site occupancy 6 people on campsite (fee includes first vehicle)
• Double Campsite max site occupancy 12 people on campsite (fee includes first 2 vehicles)
• Triple Campsite max site occupancy 18 people on campsite (fee includes first 3 vehicles)

Please see our Group Site Rates for group site maximum occupancy limits.

Organized Events

• Organized sporting/competitive/group events require proper insurance coverage and must be pre-approved. No Grad parties, Raves or Festivals are permitted.

How Many Tents/Trailers can I fit on a Site?

• The number of tents/trailers/vehicles will vary depending on the size of the tents/trailers/vehicles and which campsite you choose.
  Please check the campsite descriptions provided on each individual Campground Page, to see a size description. From that description you will have to make an educated guess if your tents/trailers will fit. We can not answer all the emails asking if your tents/trailers will fit.
• All of our campsites allow tents to camp on them, however not all sites will allow trailers. The campsites that list a trailer size is to simply indicate the maximum size trailer that is suitable for that site. This also gives you a good indication what size and how many tents will fit in the site. A site that says it will fit a large trailer, if you have a small tent, the site may be oversized for your needs. We request that you choose a site that is appropriate for your camping needs, if you do not need a large trailer site, we ask that you not take it unless there are no other sites available. By taking a site larger than what you need, you may prevent a camper who needs the larger site, the opportunity to camp. Thank you for your consideration.

Trailer Sizes

• Small Trailers are up to 18’ in length.
• Medium Trailers are up to 24’ in length.
• Large Trailers are up to 27’ in length.
• Extra Large Trailers are up to 42′ in length

Vehicles may have to be disconnected from trailers in order for vehicle and trailer to both fit in your site.

Campgrounds

A gate key is NOT required for our Campgrounds during our regular camping season.

Gates in the Main Campgrounds may be locked 11pm to 7am – at the discretion of the on-site camp host.

Gates remain locked at all times when the campground is closed for the camping season and NO ACCESS is permitted during the off season.

Grace Lake does not have gates and remains open at all times.

Group Site

Group Sites (Camp Cove, Chehalis River Group Site, Grace Lake Group Site, North Weaver Group Site, South Weaver Group Site, Weaver Creek Group Site, Wolf Group Site, Wood Lake Group Site)

If you have a reservation in a Group Site, you will require a gate key. An email with details regarding where to pick up the gate key will be sent to the reservation holder prior to your reservation arrival date.

Keys will only be issued to the reservation holder or person authorized to pick up the key as noted when making your reservation.

A 3 Night Holiday Rate applies to All Long Weekends for First Come First Serve and Reservations.

If you are making a reservation and only reserve 2 nights on a Long Weekend, the system will automatically charge you the 3 night Holiday Rate. This will NOT automatically change your reserved dates. Your reservation is only for the dates you choose, regardless of how many nights you are charged for due to minimum charge requirements.

Long Weekend Holiday Rate applies to the campsite itself (First Come First Serve and/or Reservations).
Extra Vehicles to an already occupied site, will only pay for the nights they plan to camp.

Due to the increased pressures associated with long weekend camping availability, a 3 Night Holiday Rate applies on All Long Weekends (as outlined below) regardless if you stay all 3 nights or not.

When the Statutory Holiday falls on a Friday, the 3 Night Holiday Fee will be for Thurs, Fri and Sat nights.

When the Statutory Holiday falls on a Monday, the 3 Night Holiday Fee will be for Fri, Sat and Sun nights.

When a statutory holiday falls on any other day than a Friday or a Monday, no 3 Night Holiday Fee applies.

For campgrounds and group sites, the 3 Night Holiday Rate applies to the following holidays for each calendar year.

• New Year’s Day
• Family Day
• Good Friday
• Victoria Day
• Canada Day
• BC Day
• National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
• Thanksgiving
• Remembrance Day
• Christmas Day

A maximum stay of 14 consecutive nights is permitted. After 14 consecutive nights, you must vacate and not be present on the recreation site for a period of at least 72 consecutive hours.

You can find our No Show Policy at: https://www.westharrisonreservations.com/no-show-policy/

No reservations can be made 4 days or less, prior to your arrival date.

People are checking in and out of sites all the time, this is why we have a 4-day cut off, otherwise we would have people making reservations at the same time as people are checking in to a site and then we would have double bookings.

Due to no reservations being made with in 4 days of your arrival date, this may increase the number of sites available to FCFS campers due to last minute cancellations.

NO exceptions will be made to our policies (cancel/refund/no-show/reservations).

This includes, but not limited to: errors when making a reservation, campground evictions, inclement weather, air quality, personal reasons, medical reasons, vehicle problems, vacating your campsite early, etc.

The only time we will make an exception to our cancellation and refund policy, is if we are required to close a campground and/or group site.

See our policies at:

• Campground Cancellation Policy
• Group Site Cancelation Policy
• Reservation Policy
• No Show Policy

You can find our Reservation Policy at: https://www.westharrisonreservations.com/reservation-policy/

If you reserved one night, but were charged for more, please check your reservation confirmation email.
You may have been charged a Weekend Minimum charge or Long Weekend Minimum charge.
Please also note there is a Reservation Fee charged on all reservations made?

If you have checked all of the above and still feel you were charged incorrectly, please send us an email with your reservation number, via the Contact Us form.

Our reservation system does not remove the site from inventory until full payment is received.
Therefore if you select a site, there may be a chance that someone else is in the process of finalizing their reservation for the same site and when you enter your payment information and select checkout, the site may be no longer available.

If we were to pull the site from inventory as soon as you put the item in your cart, everyone would simply place items in their cart hours before they are able to book simply so that no one else could book it. As well we might have people who open several windows and put multiple items into carts while they try to decide which campsite they may want. It only takes four or five people to do this and when someone goes on to look for what sites are available, all site would be showing red as if they are reserved because they are being held by someone.

A 2 Night Minimum charge applies for any Reservation on a Friday or Saturday night (even if you only reserve one night).

This minimum charge will not automatically change your reserved dates. Your reservation is only for the dates you choose, regardless of how many nights you are charged for due to minimum charge requirements.

All Reservations are done Online only.

Our reservation system is open 24 hrs a day.

Please check the online reservation calendar for reservation availability.

Check our Open/Close Dates before making a reservation.

Campgrounds

Reservations in Campgrounds, can be made not more than 30 Days in Advance of your ARRIVAL DATE (not departure date) and not 4 Days or less, prior to your arrival date.

30 days in advance, (not a month) – example July has 31 days, reservation for an arrival date of Aug 21, can be made at one second after 12:00 am (midnight) July 22.

You can make your reservation at one second after 12:00 am (midnight) up to 30 days prior to your arrival date.

Our Campgrounds have dedicated Reserve Sites and dedicated First Come First Serve (FCFS) Sites. This means that only select sites are made available for reservations. You can view a Campsite Description list on each campground’s page to see which sites can be reserved.

Group Sites

Reservations for our Group Sites Only, can be made any time in the same calendar year for which camping will take place, but not less than 4 days, prior to your arrival date.

Campground Reservations

Reservations in our Campgrounds can be made up to 30 Days in advance of your Arrival Date.

The 30 days (not a month) is prior to your arrival date not your check-out date, so people who will be arriving on Tuesday, are able to book a couple days earlier than those arriving on Friday.

As well, some people will be staying for up to 14 nights and their check out date is more than 30 days from today.

Reserving extra days in advance of your actual arrival date so that you can have an upper hand to reserve before others, is not allowed and may result in your reservation being cancelled and no refund provided.
Please make sure you have read our Reservation Policy.

Group Site Reservations

Reservations in our Group Sites, can be made anytime in the same calendar year that camping will take place, therefore the 30 day rule does not apply to Group Sites.

If you are checking for campsite availability in one of our campgrounds or group sites, but seeing all red (sold out) on the reservation calendar, you may be looking at the default site which is “Pick Your Site # Here”. This can not be booked, therefore it will show as all red.

Please choose a site number from the drop-down menu in order to view the availability for the site number you choose. As you change the site number, the availability calendar will change accordingly.

If this is not the issue, then possibly you are trying to make a reservation for a date that our reservations are sold out or the campground is closed.
