Good open spot. It’s not a very excluded site since you’re on the inside of the loop in view of 3 other sites and close to the road. But in comparison to most other campgrounds on the lake, this one has a good amount of tree cover and forest feel. Room for a second tent if needed, Great Lake/beach access still.

This camping trip was my first at Rainbow Point. I thoroughly enjoyed the site being right on the lake. We experienced a strong thunderstorm with a tremendous amount of rain and hail. Our site turned into a lake and streams. It created quite a mess. The following day was all about drying out. We only saw the campground host twice in 5 days. The restroom was decently clean but getting full. Overall a good experience.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • 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.
