Off Season Camping & Seasonal Water Systems

October thru April are non-reservable months and sites are available on a first come, first serve basis where self-registration is required. Availability of camping amenities in the off-season is primarily dependent on weather and environmental factors. Snyder Campground, Russell Memorial Campground, Rock Dam Campground, and Mead Lake Campground are the only County campgrounds which contain a heated shower building and they may remain open to campers through the completion of the gun deer season. Clark County reserves the right to change these beginning and end dates, without prior notice.

​

Cancellations/Refunds

Cancellations can be completed online, by phone or in person through the Business Office during business hours.  Select reservations can also be cancelled online via department reservation website. Cancellations made ten (10) calendar days or more prior to reservation start date will receive a credit on their household account for the amount of the reservation that is paid minus all non-refundable reservation or cancellation fees. All credits on accounts expire one calendar year from date of creation. Credits on accounts can be used for purchases through the reservation system and are not eligible for redemption through self-registration envelopes. Credits on accounts below $850.00 in value can be surrendered for a check refund of 50% credit value. Credits on accounts $850.00 or more in value can be surrendered for a check refund of 75% credit value.

Cancellations made less than ten (10) calendar days before reservation start date are not eligible for a credit on their account. Individuals may only reschedule their reservation to a new date in the future.

Refunds for early departures and cancellations made during a reservation, including the morning of the reservation start date, are subject to administrative review and an “Administrative Refund Application” must be submitted to the Clark County Forestry and Parks Business Office with this request. The “Administrative Refund Application” must be submitted within two (2) business days of reservation termination.

​

Fees

All fees are determined by the Forestry and Parks Committee, per night, per camping unit, per amenities present at the selected site regardless of use. For sites designated as multiple-unit occupancy, the additional unit will be required to pay all fees applicable to the site stayed on at the point of reservation. All fees must be paid prior to setup and permits displayed on provided site post. There is a $10.00 reservation fee applied to each reservation that is made. The reservation fee applies to every reservation, even when multiple reservations are made at the same time or for the same period.

Provided Information

All measurements and amenities, including, but not limited to, electric service amperage, “Site Dimensions”, “Pad Dimensions”, “Site Size” & “Unit Max”, are provided to the best of the department’s current knowledge with no guarantee of accuracy. It is the camper’s responsibility to ensure that the site they are selecting for a reservation will work adequately for their desired experience. No guarantees are provided that your camping unit and additional items will fit within the site boundaries based on these measurements.  Site dimension measurements are typically taken at the narrowest point of the campsite area. The true open square footage of a campsite may vary from the size that is listed. “Unit Max” measurements are provided as a best guess to the size of unit that will comfortably fit within the site. A camping unit larger than listed may be placed on the campsite as long as it fits within the campsite boundaries.

​

State Codes & Utilities

State code requires a minimum separation of ten (10) feet between camping units. All water spigots will be fitted with a backflow prevention device at the beginning of the season and must remain on the water spigot. Using a splitter or removing the backflow prevention device is a direct violation of state code. Sewer caps must be on at all times. Draining of grey or black water onto the ground is strictly prohibited by State Code and will not be tolerated at any time.

Any camper/customer who needs to operate a generator because of a health condition will be required to reserve an electrical site if any is available and not use the generator unless an outage occurs. If the available electric site is not a preferred location for the customer, it is not a valid justification for the customer to refuse the electric site re-assignment and use a generator. Generators cannot be used anywhere else in the park.
