Great location where steps away from Lake Manzanita. The cabin was neat and cozy. The surrounding was quiet. The restroom and shower room were very clean. The staff in store were friendly and acknowledgeable. We'll come back to there certainly. Only a few things need to be improved. The blinders in the cabin need to replacement, the lock was little hard to open with the key. In all the service was great.

It is better to have electricity and bedding. We didn't bring pillows and blankets. So it is hard to sleep with clothes on.

Manzanita Lake cabins are wonderful! It was great to sleep inside on a bed, yet still go outdoors for everything else. The bunk bed foam cushions are firm, but still comfortable. Having the store and $5 showers close by the camp site is a definite bonus. Taking the 1.8 mi walk around the lake is a must, and easy enough for all. One thing to note: There is a $30 PER CAR entry fee to the park ABOVE AND BEYOND the reservation. This really should be information provided on the reservation web site. Luckily they take credit cards.
