Although the mattress in the studio is new it’s very soft and not very comfortable. I would like to see bear safe doors installed on both cabins. Overall, we had a wonderful visit and hopefully be back next year.

I had a lot of fun camping for two nights at Meeks Bay. The staff was very helpful when we arrived. The restrooms were cleaned daily while we were there and I thought they were very well maintained. The campsites are extremely close to the lake, which makes days out on the water easy and fun. We did see bears, so it's a necessity to always take precautions to avoid leaving food out. There is some road noise from some sites, but I didn't find it to be an issue. Overall, my family had a great time and I'd recommend this spot for those looking for a campground on the lake.

Bathrooms were very very clean. Spots were very close to neighbors but thankfully as we met some nice people and we did see a few bears. Bears didn't bother us just wanted to food. Make sure to use the bear box and put everything away when not eating. Literally cooked, ate, cleaned, and put everything away in the bear box when we were not eating or cooking. Threw trash away frequently. Host was great too. Bears seemed docile and calm and they did walk freely through the camp site. Would definitely go back. Place was beautiful and clean
