We absolutely loved camping at Lake Manzanita. Great campsite. Awesome swimming close by. We will totally come there again.

Site B22: Large space, pretty far from neighboring sites. Nice space overall with several places for tents. Slight slope to driveway so may not be ideal for campervan,etc. Fire pit is a bit close to 1 of the neighboring sites so that might be a factor for some. Overall really nice site at a nice campground and a short 1/4 mile walk to manzanita lake. Just FYI the showers were under construction due to a tree that fell onto the building last winter.

Nice campground. Disappointed the showers and laundry were under renovation but we did go early in the season. Newly paved well kept campgrounds.

I had the pleasure to camp during Father's Day Weekend at Manzanita Lake, D-Loop, Site D14. It was a very quiet and secluded spot in the campground. Bathroom, trash bins and water source were close by, a mere minutes walk. Because we were on the backside of the last loop, vehicle traffic was extremely low. Which made for a great nights sleep, as headlights did not illuminate the tent. The location made for a bit of a walk to the store and lake, however I would gladly trade a small walk for more quiet, as others tend to choose sites closer to the store or lake. It was an excellent site, and my favorite loop going forward.

Great campground, but store was empty of supplies, showers were broken with no notice. Otherwise great!

- 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.
