Beaver Bay Campground — Hotel in Battle Ground

The campground was nice, but a camp host was incredibly rude. My wife apparently made a mistake and reserved only 2 nights instead of 3 and on our third day we left to go to Ape Caves and came back to one of our campsites cleared and condensed over and a confused (but very nice) camper who had reserved the whole row for a big group camp out. After discovering our goof up I went to the camp host (boat dock end) to explain our mistake and ask if there was any available spaces we could move to and buy another night and she was incredibly rude, just ignoring my explanation entirely and spouting that checkout was at 11 and she just didn't understand why we weren't out (even though I had just explained it). The entire problem could have been avoided if they had done ANY part of their job. They never came by the site to check us in like LITERALLY every other campground staff I have ever had in my life would do, didn't have a person at the booth so they never confirmed with us the details of our stay. Additionally they completely ignored a couple people having campfires even though they are banned due to fire risk, and didn't enforce quiet hours when the people across from us were running a generator until midnight. The shoreline of the bay was littered a ton (which we actually cleaned up for them btw) and the website information is not correct; water craft are allowed, swimming is open everywhere and there is no designated swim space because it dried up years ago. So the only swim area is for those who are experienced swimmers, there is no shallow swim area anymore. UPDATE YOUR SITE and get...

If you are booking beware that if you don't show up by 8pm you forfeit your reservation, and they close the gates at 9pm. Not sure why they have this policy but it is ridiculous. I understand closing the gates for the evening, but 9pm???!!! State parks are more generous with their closing times. The gate closing time is in the fine print so read carefully. This should be something in HUGE letters when booking.

In addition there is no contact number to call and no way to get in after 9pm. We had a minor crisis that was beyond our control that caused us a huge delay in our arrival time .

Needless to say, we were stranded without a place to stay. We ended up driving back and stayed at the Lone Fir resort. Jonathon was amazing. The office is closed but if you need a room, AND it is before 12am they will accommodate you. Absolutely saved us from staying in a parking lot. We told our story and Lone Fir said they get people that come to their resort all the time because of Beaver Bay's 9pm gate closing. So Beaver Bay will keep your money if it is after 8pm with the minor hope you can get a spot, and after 9pm will just keep your money.

Suggestion, if you need a night and full hookups, save yourself the pressure and headache of rushing to meet a ridiculous 9pm gate close at Beaver Bay and go stay at Lone Fir. Super close...

We got there and our site was mostly underwater. The host was able to let us to move 1 space over.. that s why i gace it 2 stars. The host had to be told about camp fires in a no burn band , didn't seem to matter much neither did loud music . Our granddaughter had not made it in. From Seattle and we were told they lock the gates at 9.and Her car wouldn't be allowed in. Really 9! We ask if we could go out and. Call to see where she was. He told us we could but wouldn't let us back in but was waiting to close the gate on a group of boy scouts. Why them and not us. He told us to go to day use and our phone would come in. That was a joke by the way those scouts got up each morning at 5 am they were not quiet , and there was so many we could hear their sleeping bags being unzipped Pans banging and a lot of talking our granddaughter came in the next morning. We never met the host for section b..isn't there a limit on how many...
