We enjoyed our stay at Blue Bay. It was cool and quiet and a great view of the lake. Nice trail along the lake. Saw many people with boats fishing, and several paddle boats enjoying the water. Most campsites had shade so it kept it cool.

We pulled in a little late in the evening and right away there was problems. Someone was parked in our spot right in front of our campsite. Blocking the only easy access into the site. Also when booking the reservation there was no description of the site telling that the parking was a ways away from the site. We ended up just sleeping in the main parking lot on an air mattress in the car. Really disappointing after driving 6 hours.

Campsite was beautiful right on the lake. Big sites with nice views. Only complaint was the noise coming from the road. It was downhill and many trucks were gear breaking.

Site is beautiful β€” overlooking the lake with easy access to the trail. Toilettes are adequate, although it seemed like it had been a while since they had last been maintained. The picnic tables are nice and level which makes for easy cooking.
Also, the complete disregard for the fire ban by several groups was rather concerning. There were β€œno fire” flags in the fire pits plus signage everywhere, but since there was no ranger or host in the campground, people chose to ignore that.

Beautiful campground with waterfront tent sites. The lake was calm and gorgeous and perfect for paddle boarding.
Our only complaint is the jake breaks on big trucks was pretty noisy from the road across the lake.

Policies & Rules

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.
