We've enjoyed Meeks Bay for years, but this trip was disappointing due to inconsiderate campers. Loud music played late, sites were overcrowded, and one group dug a pit in the ground for a barbecue, leaving smoking coals behind when they left. No camp host came by to enforce the rules.

We camped for one night and loved the location. Staff was pleasant and helpful. The only comment I have is that the actual camping sites were hard to determine which areas went with which site.

The cabins are very clean and the view is beautiful. It was perfect for our family reunion. Please know that there is no way to contact the resort directly for they do not have a phone at the lodge, per the manager. Other than that it’s a wonderful spot!

The facility is very nice a bit far from town; but, a lot of things to do around it.
during my five night stay, I talked to several of the employees all were very nice and helpful; but, on my last day, I was trying to buy one additional token to make sure we all took a shower before my long drive home; the person at the counter (she did not have a name tag); was very rude and told me that she did not have any tokens and that there was nothing she could do; I asked if the people in the carts (cleaning crew) had a key to perhaps sell me a token and she told me "I must be dumb, as I don't understand you", I told her that I was not been rude to her and that she should not be talking to me in that matter", she basically told me (in a condescending tone) that she did not know if they had the key and said there was nothing she could do.
This employee should be retrained to provide better customer support. She could have easily contacted the staff to see if they had the key for the showers and sell me a token, I was extremely disappointed with the encountered and the fact that I drove home without a shower was the icing on the cake.

- 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.
