The campground is quiet and the sites are very nice. The only drawback was the Camp Host, or lack thereof. The "Camp Host" did not come to our site once and ALWAYS had the Sign in front of their site up that said they were off duty. Not once was the sign removed. We never received a car tag and was never charged for any additional cars. The bathrooms appeared to either not be cleaned are cleaned very seldom and when we were running out of toilet paper I went to another of the bathrooms onsite to take some extras to put it in the bathroom by ours. Oddly enough, 5 minutes later, the "Camp Host" came by our bathroom and removed the extra toilet paper.
After a couple of days being on the site I tried talking to the "Camp Host" and found him to be EXTREMELY rude and confrontational. I've been camping for many years and he is definitely the WORST "Camp Host" I have encountered. Be careful....

Blue Bay is a beautiful campground. The spaces that we and our friends were in were right along the lake with direct access from one of the sites. The only thing that was bothersome was that there was no camp host or ranger on duty for the four nights we were there (Thursday through Monday) and the camp restroom ran out of toilet paper.

The site accommodations were very nice. The campsite sizes are great, clean, and we'll equipped. Water access was nice. Our issue was the camp host was off duty the whole time. We reserved a site from the app but needed a site for the next night, we looked on the app and saw FF sites for the next day. The next morning we went to get a slip to pay for a new site and the box was empty. We walked to another camp to get a slip. We payed for a site that was listed as FF and put our slip up. There were no reservations on the post. We came back after a hike, and there was now a reservation for our site written on the post. This meant we had to pack up our site for the second time of the day and go look for another site. All the FF sites on the App now were actually reservations. This makes no since, why are they listed as FF if there are actually reservations for them? This was extra frustrating because the camp host was nowhere to be found.

Beautiful and clean campground. Bathrooms were clean and well supplied. Suttle Lake is gorgeous. The trail around the lake is a little difficult in one area due to downed trees, but we made it through. Lots of fun. Will definetely return.

Spacious campsite with several lovely sites right at the lakeshore.
Camphost is mostly absent and very careless if present. I got booted out of my site at dusk by others who had made a reservation online. The host took my cash and did not inform me about existing reservations. He refused to refund me.

  • 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.
