An Outstanding Stay at Site 045 - Manzanita Lake Campground
We had the pleasure of staying at site 045 and couldnβt have been more impressed with this exceptional campground. The site itself was remarkably spacious, easily accommodating our tent and camping gear with room to spare. The grounds are meticulously maintained, with clean facilities and well-marked pathways throughout.
The location is absolutely perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. We were just steps away from the main trailheads, making it effortless to start our daily hikes without having to drive anywhere. The proximity to stunning Manzanita Lake was a major highlight - we enjoyed morning coffee with breathtaking lake views and spent evenings watching the sunset reflect off the water. The on-site convenience store was a lifesaver, stocked with everything from camping essentials and snacks to local souvenirs and fishing supplies. We particularly appreciated not having to drive into town for forgotten items. The laundry facilities were spotless and reasonably priced - perfect after several days of hiking. The gas station prices were surprisingly fair for such a remote location, and the staff was friendly and helpful.
What really set this place apart was the sense of community among campers and the peaceful atmosphere, despite being well-occupied. The fire pits are perfectly positioned, and we enjoyed sharing stories with neighboring campers under the star-filled sky.
Weβre already planning our return trip for next season - this campground has everything you need for a memorable outdoor getaway!ββββββββββββββββ

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.
