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.

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 we got (10) was really hilly, difficult to get a good position for the family tent. A few stumps in the site as well were termite homes, so the ground was crawling. The bugs didn't really bother me that much, they're just doing their thing, but it could eek some others out. Site would be fine for a pull-through camper or smaller tent though. Other sites would be better for us with our large basecamp tent.

We just stopped here for one night. Unfortunately it was very smoky from the nearby wildfires. Nice campsites though. Close enough to the resort to walk there via the trail around the lake. The resort was nice, the lodge looks amazing and we had a draft beer and some snacks. The resort rents boats, kayaks, cabins and lodge rooms. We brought our own kayaks and launched from the little boat launch that is near the campsite. We walked part way around the lake, probably half and it is a very nice, well kept trail. This time of year there were lots of yellow-jackets...bring your trap!

We were here in August and there were relentless huge numbers of wasps. We couldn’t cook or eat any food without being swarmed. Had to eat in the car. Also slight wind shifts very easily brought in the smoke from the fires south of the grounds. Night time got much better for the wasps. Beautiful spot but recommend going during a time the wasps are less active.

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.
