Lovely bare bones, clean cabin, but bring your own lantern. No outdoor sink at the restroom but good pump for water supply. Nice location for accessing the lake and Manzanita Creek Trail which we did hike. Saw a meadow of Lupines near the top and wonderful refreshing stream.

Location and cabins are excellent including the shower and toilet areas. The store and staff are over the top!! Very helpful and friendly. The 8 bunk cabins with only 1 window were very hot in the 2 of 4 nights we stayed. The mattresses were comfortable.

When we arrived at our cabin, the carbon monoxide detector was beeping. We immediately opened the windows and went to the store. The employee came to help and found the heater was running. They were able to make the detector stop beeping by turning off the gas at the valve. It was very scary for our family. We left the windows open and were finally able to enter the cabin comfortably about 9-10pm at night with windows open.

Went mid-June. Expected the roads to be open on the mountain. No, there was no way to get to the thermal features (without driving 3 hours). Too much snow. This wasn't the fault of the campground. What WAS the fault of the campground- showers were closed, laundry was closed, fuel was closed, deli was closed, kayak rentals were closed (an employee had to go home, and there was no back up), heaters in the cabins didn't work (we were provided with portable heaters, thank goodness, it got down into the 30's at night). It was seriously a clown show. Very disappointed in this visit.
