Nice place. Incredibly disappointed that we could not have a fire! We should've at least been notified prior to arriving. Lake is kinda gross and muddy.

Family had a great time. Great facilities, beautiful lake, and great service throughout. I would go back if there weren’t so many other locations I wanted to check out.

There was no ranger or camp host to provide any guidance. We relied on the general store clerk to provide information, and she was clearly annoyed with any questions. Eventually, we just drove up to the site we booked. No one checked.
The convenience stations are very spread out, which explains why we saw so many people washing their dishes at the water pumps outside. Thankfully, we saw no wildlife drawn to this.
Despite signs posted literally everywhere prohibiting such, there were many campfires throughout the site. We informed the general store clerk who told me to call a ranger. After explaining we have no cell service at the site, she replied “I guess I can do it then.” No ranger ever showed.
This site is neglected. It’s at high risk of fire danger and someone getting hurt. We would expect more from a National Park.

Very good but site B33 walk in did not have a defined parking spot, nor a defined path to it. So it felt like I was walking through other campsites getting there. And there is a need for quiet opening bear proof containers everywhere as it disturbs people accessing it early or late. Much nicer crowd of campers than at the Motörhead dominated dunes sites in OR.

Great campground to camp at. The sites were big and well spread-out. Great location with lots of short hikes and loomis museum nearby.

Manzanita Lake Campground was a very nice campground. We had a pull through space for our camper and lots of room for camp chairs around the fire and friends at the table for dinner. It was a nice flat walk around the lake and the camp store saved us by having little cans of propane for our backup stove. Great trip!

Popular campsite close to the lake, the store and showers. Bear boxes at each site, and plenty of room for tents. Easy to walk to trailheads. Beautiful lake.

  • 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.
