We really like this campsite. It leans on the door side and you will need to level out the trailer. The site says 40 feet rv, and I can confirm that our 40 foot toyhauler fit just fine. We do recommend backing into the site with a large trailer, as pulling through won't work with the trees in the way.

Campsite clean, although the pitch next door did complain about the previous campers not cleaning up after their dog. Toilets clean, quiet camp.

We were only here for one night, but I wish we had stayed several days. Everything was clean and quiet. I appreciated that there was a wash station for dishes since we were having trouble with our watertank. This park is now one of my favorites!

Campsites are very close to each other. Very minimal shade in this site. Conveniently close to the restrooms, which were clean during our visit. Stayed at manzanita lake and butte lake to check them both out. If you’re looking for campsites that are a bit more spaced out Butte Lake is the better choice , but Manzanita Lake is much more convenient being closer to the main road where a lot of main attractions are, and Butte lake has a forest road that is bumpy for 7 miles or so.

The campsites are very close to each other so keep that in mind. People are quiet once it’s dark.

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.
