What Guests Are Saying
Washunga Bay is praised for its clean and well-kept sites, friendly staff, and a pleasant, quiet atmosphere, making it a popular choice among campers. Many visitors appreciate the new camping additions and enjoy meeting other friendly campers. However, there have been concerns regarding a long-standing water boil order and the lack of showers, which some felt should have been communicated more clearly.

Stay was good. But they starting burning off and clearing land and smoked the whole campground out. Very Smokey

Camp host was friendly and patrolled regularly. Cleaning crew every day, so that was good. Quiet during my visit. It looks like the new bathroom/shower facilities will be open soon (Spring 2023), so that's something to look forward to.

The view was pretty, and we enjoyed the peacefulness of the campground, but the water was DISGUSTING. Brown doesn't even describe the color of the water running out of the RV hook up faucet.
Then on our second night there, we were TOLD that the water was being shut off. No warning or mention that this would be an issue when temperatures fall below 0 at night. My husband and I both said that we can mark that Lake off our camping locations!

Campsite was reasonably clean and well maintained. Showers were hot but not very clean. Lots of spiders and bugs. USACE closed the showers in the middle of our stay for “winterization” but that was not disclosed anywhere on the reservation website.

Policies & Rules
Arrival & departure
- Campsites must be reserved through Recreation.gov.
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.
Safety & rules
- Sites 54 and 55 may experience flooding.
Site capacity
- Each campsite allows one tent and one RV, or two tents.
