Facilities were so nicely maintained, water and bath houses were close and convenient. We were super impressed at how nice both loops A and B were as we stayed in both. We would definitely return!

Overall great location and campground. Pros: location and scenery. The stars are unreal and so clear. It was peaceful and pretty quiet and clean the first few nights. Paid showers available; would be $$$ if you’re only there for a night. It’s $5 to get the lock code for each gender so $10 for three of us but that’s about the same as we paid for the quarter run showers at the other campground over the week.
Cons: service at the store was weird and slow. Like we were ghosts. Multiple employees looked right through/past us as I waited a good 10 minutes to checkout with a few items and get the shower codes. The last night we were there brought us into a holiday weekend and it was loud well past 10 PM. Loud groups, crying and whining kids, car alarms and doors opening and closing well past 1 AM. Bathrooms also expectedly were messy by that evening and the morning we were leaving.
I’d stay here again but not on a weekend or peak time.

Great camp spot with lots of room. Furthest from the store and lake but still a short walk all things considered.
Would stay in same spot again.
Love the campgrounds that have a little infrastructure to them. Not too much, just right.

Wonderful! Camping was great, kayaking on the lake was wonderful, and took a bike ride from Manzanita Lake up to the Devastation Area, very scenic!

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.
