We've been to Blue Bay several times. We were disappointed this time. The vault bathrooms were very full and needed to be cleaned out. The smell was atrocious. We were there Thursday until Sunday in June so there is no reason that they should already be full. Our campsites 16 and 17 had poor fire pits - other sites have had their's replaced with circular ones and the picnic tables were concrete instead of the horrible worn out wood ones.Nice campground but needs some tlc.

SITE 21 & 20 ARE ON TRAIL AROUND THE LAKE. EXPECT TO GREET EVERYONE WALKING ON THE TRAIL & THEIR DOGS. CAME BACK TO CAMP AFTER VISITING THE LODGE TO HAVE A WHOLE GROUP OF 20+ PEOPLE SET UP LIKE IT WAS DAY USE. BATHROOMS WERE UNUSABLE DUE TO THE STENCH.

Great location for all kinds of activities. Some of the sites are small for trailers so watch the length. Only issue was garbage cans were overfull when we arrived and not emptied during our stay and one of the smaller pit toilets was about to overflow. Needed more services to support the number of people staying here in the summer.

Beautiful Campground.....the restrooms were horrendous however, hundreds of flies in each one, pretty bad smelling as well, there are two other Forest Service campgrounds nearby within walking distance and their restrooms were in great condition, no flies or smell, seems strange that of the 3 campgrounds on Suttle Lake that Blue Bay had essentially unusable restrooms...

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.
