Summary
AI generated
Winnie Campground is praised for its friendly host, Nicole, who has significantly improved the campground's cleanliness and maintenance. Campers appreciate the spacious, beautiful sites, immaculate vault toilets, and the peaceful atmosphere, especially during less crowded times. However, there are some concerns regarding bear activity in the area, which has prompted campers to be cautious with food storage.
As I had never been to this campground before I chose a spot I thought I would be able to see the lake and site ten was not the right choice for that...lol...but the grounds were clean and a clean toilet so I was happy with my experience

This was a very nice experience this year compared to the last 10 years. The best part was having a campground host that was wiling to mow the grass in the camp sites and walking trails. Keeping the grass shorter was beneficial for keeping the mosquitoes and wood ticks down, and pushing the poison ivy away from our legs. A better job still needs to be done about the poison ivy next to the lake access cement steps. There are several down trees that would be available for firewood if we could only use our chainsaws.
Our family has been camping annually on Lake Winnie for over 60 years and regard this place as a tradition that started with our Grandfather, Herbert Bartelt in the 1930's. This year we had almost 60 family members there at one time including brothers, sisters, and cousins.
How about having a bathroom at the lake's public access? This would be very well used and appreciated by both the fisherman, campers, and hikers.
Keep up the good work!

The new campground host, Mike, made our entire trip frustrating and stressful. It was sad that such a beautiful place had to be "cared for" by such an individual. Our entire group of family members, around 100 of us, most who have been coming to the Winnie Campground for over 40 years, had a less than ideal vacation because of his actions and behavior. We can only hope that the Forest Service doesn't allow him back next season. Please feel free to contact me if you need further clarification on the subject.

Policies & Rules
Arrival & departure
After the reservation season, there may be sites available on a first-come, first-served basis.
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.
Fees & deposits
A fee is charged for each camping unit at the site, with an extra charge for additional units.
