Contorta Flat Campground is praised for its beautiful lake and well-maintained grounds, offering a stunning scenery perfect for a relaxing getaway. While the campground is small and some sites lack privacy, the respectful atmosphere among campers enhances the experience. However, visitors should be cautious of mosquitoes and potential reservation issues, as well as the challenging gravel road access.

Very well kept campground. The bathrooms were very clean as well and stocked. The only issue I had was when the pavement ends it’s a very bumpy ride for the last 3 miles. Don’t plan on going over 15 mph if your pulling a camper. Beautiful scenery and close to some many northwest wonderlands to mention.

The problem with the campground is a lot of people are reserving spots, not showing up and not cancelling. There were quite a few vacant spots available. You people need to do like motels do. If you don't show up on the first night you need to cancel their reservation and keep their money.
Then put it back on line to be reserved. It appeared that your campground host is not enforcing this. That host should be letting you know on her tour of the campgrounds so you can put it back on line to be reserved. The host should pull the reservation card at each camp spot so people would know they could use the spot. We have been going to this campground for many years and under the latest guidelines it is extremely difficult to plan a vacation and coordinate with the reservation guidelines.

There was NO information about the pavement ending and having to drive on a very bad dirt road for over 3 miles. It was a very bad rough washboard road and very, very dusty. We were pulling a trailer and if we had known the road situation, we never would have booked a site there. Also, there was no information as to how low the lake was and how very very dusty (1 inch plus) it was on the ground. It was the worst campground we have ever seen.

If you are someone who is really looking to get away from people and the city, this is it. The drive in was not as expected; we drove 7 miles on a dirt road, which lead us to the hidden campground. There were very few signs, which was concerning, considering we have never been there before. We were in site 15, Southern Edge, which was further from the lake, but still very close. We did encounter many mosquitos, but the spot was still very nice and quiet. There was one vault bathroom, which was well maintained. Not sure if we would stay again, but it is a good, isolated campground.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
