This site was a bit tough to pull our trailer into and we had to use extra levelers to balance the trailer.

Most of the tent campsites at Manzanita Lake are so close together that they're practically on top of one another, so there's no privacy here. Maybe one of the outer-loop sites on the far end from the entrance would have been quieter or more secluded; those weren't available by the time I booked ('cause Summit Lake campground was closed just before my reservation).

I had a lovely view out into the forrest and a good night's sleep once the group of inconsiderate idiots were told to let the newborn sleep at midnight. I was furthest away from the lake, but there were still lots of mosquitos. The showers lacked water pressure but did have hot water, and the bathrooms were okay.

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.
