The phone number on the website had a recording that they were closed for the 2022 season - it is 2024 it also said that Recreation.gov was handling the reservations. Recreation.gov said that Meeks Bay Resort was handling reservations. I went to Meeks Bay Resort on my vacation and you could not pay at the resort, it had to be done online. After finally being directed to the correct website I was able to make my reservations. My only complaint is that even with my Senior lifetime pass it still cost me about $140.00 for three nights in a tent site. I love Meeks Bay because it has its own beach a few minutes walk from the campground. Keep an eye out though, I had a couple of visits from a black bear, he wasn’t threatening, I just scolded him like I would do my dog and he went to visit a neighbors campsite. He ran off when she yelled at him too. I will probably return next year even with the cost of the campsites.

We have been on a camper van trip from the UK around California. Meeks bay was one of our most disappointing campgrounds. Overall it is attractive and close to the lake. But also close to the road. Not very tranquil. Also it is set up for massive RVs - so if that is what you want then maybe it does the job. But it’s not quaint and pretty like so many of the sites in the state.

- 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.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
