DO NOT GO HERE!! We booked last minute because a spot opened up for one night. When we arrived they didn’t have our name which was fine, so i showed the reservation and they checked us into our site. When we arrived at our site, it was occupied. We returned to the reception building as the woman at the front gate said we might have been double booked. At the reception desk they confirmed we were NOT double booked and that the person at the site should have left the day before. The receptionist said to “just move their stuff out of the way” and “let us know if they come back and have an issue”. We were skeptical but decided to go back and look. They had a full set up, including the bear box completely stuff of food and personal belongings. We did not feel comfortable just putting the food on the ground along with all of their belongings. We also did not want a confrontation. The camp hosts should have removed the person on the day of their check out.. or at the very least offered to come over and pack up their stuff. I took a bunch of pictures and tried to go back to reception but they had already left for the day with no contact info. We decided to leave and find a hotel since all other campsites nearby were full. Absolutely ridiculous. I also asked for a refund and they denied it. The whole situation was just incredibly odd. Beware.

After going to Meeks Bay camping for over 20 yrs. I will never go again. The no dog policy is stupid and ridiculous. Also the cost for camping there is just as ridiculous. Shouldn’t be over 35.00 to 40.00 a night. Bears were always a problem but the escalation is probably due to lack of monitoring the camping folks during the day. Seems the hosts only want to set in the booth collect money and play on their cell phones. They need to get off their ass and monitor the grounds warning people to keep food out of cars, tents and campfire rings. We had so so many very enjoyable times at Meeks Bay very sad the way things have been managed their after Covid I guess.
