Site C36 is great. Right next to the restrooms, which were some of the nicest I’ve seen in a NPS campground. Camp store had everything you could need and the shower facilities were nice as well.

Campground is big and there were a lot of people there. The women's shower was filthy. Bathrooms were pretty clean. Easy walking distance to trails and the lake.

The site was great: clean, private, & had a nice bear box, picnic table, fire ring, and multiple places to pitch a tent. Loved the trail around the lake with beautiful mtn views. There is only 5 womens' showers for the whole campground that were $5 and pretty gross with wads of hair everywhere. Also store was out of firewood. Bathrooms were clean. Overall nice place & would recommend.

Amazing setting, Lake Manzanita is spectacular. Some bathrooms needed more upkeep but understandable given the high summer capacity.

The campground offered plenty of space between sites, was quiet and well located. The facilities were fairly well maintained in view of current budget cuts and layoffs. My only negative is that it is very difficult to get a spot near or within view of the lake unless one rents a cabin.

Nice site. This site looks like it was a single pull through site that is now two separate sites (but with a single pull through paved driveway still). Initially we thought someone was in our site. The table, food storage, and fire ring are not near the site and you almost have to walk through the shared site to access them. We were able to easily back in our 25' travel trailer and no issues setting up.

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.
