While some campers noted issues with noise, lack of ranger presence, and strict rules, many appreciated the spacious sites and overall cleanliness.

Showers and laundry facilities were out for the campground. With advance notice, that would not have been a problem, but we were not notified. As this stop was one of our last, we needed both amenities. Campground is located adjacent to beautiful Manzanita Lake and the staff at the camp store were welcoming and understanding. This was our second time staying here and we would definitely stay again; just wish we had been aware of the inability to shower and do laundry.

Extremely loud family next to our spot. They didn't quiet down until after 2am. The same family had several tents over the allowed number and at least 4 vehicles. No Ranger to be seen, at all. Showers did not work. Bathrooms had no soap or toilet paper. I just do not recommend this campground.

Beautiful lake and campground but the showers were closed during our visit. On our last night a very large group was camping in a campsite nearby. They were very noisy until 1am. We never saw a ranger drive through the campground and there was no camp host to talk to about the noise.

The store was closed, the showers were closed, the road over the top was closed but where it stopped there wasn't a drop of snow so it should have been opened up further to see the snow. I also understand about dogs in national parks, but you have to give me something other than dodging cars and rvs on the main road and nothing else for my pet, years ago the trail at the end of the campground was open to pets. I have been to numerous national parks and most if not all have at least one trail where you can take your pet. I actually left early as there was literally nothing I could do in the park that I hadn't already done. I used to visit numerous times a year but I would not go back again.

It was really great! Nice and quiet Campground. But what is not so nice is when you book this campground because of the showers nearby and then they are closed!

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.
