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

Arrived late and the ranger at gate had little interest in helping me locate the campsite or offered to cancel the next night. The NP park system employees cannot modify any reservation or help with another. Everything is outsourced. Very frustrating.
Case in point you show up thinking you can access the campsite email and guess what ? No cell service If the NP system wants you to rely on The Cloud then out the infrastructure in place.
Roads at park were closed due to snow. Don’t visit until August as the cool experience here won’t ba available.

Manzanita Lake Campground was generally in good shape and is an excellent place to stay. Only problems: store was under repair and open with minimum of necessities on the shelves. Showers were not open. The lights in the campground restroom had solar panels but only seemed to be on in the daytime. Lights were off at night (when they are needed).

We enjoyed our stay. Enjoyed hiking around the lake and biking up the parks highway to the summit. We stayed in Site 45 Loop A. It is circle Pull through site but the trees need to be trimmed for taller rigs. Made parking and exiting the site a bit difficult.

Campsite was excellent, nice and large. Only issue was that the showers were being renovated while we were there so no shower access.

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.
