What Guests Are Saying
Meadow Lake Campground offers a lovely natural setting, although it can get busy and lacks cell service. Some guests noted challenges with poorly marked reserved spots and the absence of potable water. Additionally, the road to the campground may be difficult to navigate.

No cell service, cold, and very busy. No camp host, reserved spots are poorly marked and there were people set up in our reservation spot. The road up the mountain is sketchy.

They did not have potable water available. I wish I could have found out before so I would have been prepared. Otherwise, it was lovely.

I was very unhappy with this particular stay. The gate was closed and we were in a f450 with our camper and pulling a trailer with our kayaks and it was a very difficult to back down the road and find a place to turn around. I contacted Reservation. Org and make my complaint and the customer service representative stated she would pass the message on to whomever was responsible for the campground, we never received any warning or return responses from the company.

Beautiful area. Beautiful lake. We loved kayaking, fishing, hiking and just enjoying the beauty of this area. The campground was well maintained. The facilities were clean and well-stocked.

Arrival & departure
- Reservations can be made from July 1st to Labor Day; outside this period, sites are first-come, first-served with onsite payment required.
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.
