Our first time at Turquoise Lake and May Queen felt like a quieter smaller campground than the others on the opposite side of the lake. You don't as great a mountain view as the campgrounds on the other side of the Lake but you get a sweet lagoon and sometimes beautiful calm water. Many fisher people and some people using paddle boarders and inflatables. The camp was clean and there's not many sites. On the weekend the walk-in tent sites were full of large groups with many tents. The camper sites are fairly spacious and lined up along the one road past the walk-in sites. The toilets ran out of toilet paper and Dan the host was quickly accommodating and restocked them. There is a day use area that gets busy on weekends and also had some young kids drive in one night at 3:30am and blast music. Once they were addressed they left. The hike along the lake is beautiful.

We loved campsite 1 because it was super private. Downside is you have to carry stuff kinda far and there's no bear box so we carried our cooler and food bin back and forth a lot so we weren't just leaving food out. But we would return to this particular site.

The campground was very clean and well managed. The camp host was very responsive to some illegal camping and a campfire outside of the grounds.

- 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.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
