What Guests Are Saying
Butte Lake Campground offers a beautiful and well-maintained environment with clean restrooms, spacious sites, and close proximity to the stunning Cinder Cone Trail and Butte Lake, making it ideal for outdoor activities like swimming and hiking. Many campers appreciated the tranquility and wildlife, as well as the friendly park staff. However, some noted issues with steeply inclined sites, dust from fast-moving vehicles, and limited ranger presence, which could detract from the experience.

Large campsites under huge pine trees. Loved the proximity to Cinder Cone Trailhead; highly recommend this beautiful and unique trail! Potable water was available at the time of our stay. The 6-mile drive on a gravel road enroute is quite a dusty experience! Would recommend minimizing the number of times that road is traveled (drive in/ drive out only).

Amazing view of the stars. The lake is just a short walk down the hill. Campsite was spacious and clean. Bathrooms were a bit spread out but were well-kept. The only thing that we weren't aware of until we started mapping our day, was that Butte Lake is two hours from the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center - ended up working out, but it is far from the southern entrance. Great campsite though!

The campsite was in a very interesting part of the park that I wouldn't have explored unless I'd booked a site here. The sites were well maintained and cleaned regularly. Highly recommend staying at this campsite.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
