Camping & Deluxe Bell Tent Rentals
Camping and Deluxe Bell Tent Reservations
Standley Lake offers individual campsites and Deluxe Bell Tent rentals by reservation only. Reservations can be made beginning in January of each year. There are 66 campsites available for reservation and six Deluxe Bell Tents. The main campground accommodates RV units, camp trailers and tents. The park offers two permanent restroom facilities with free outdoor/open-air showers and drinking water. There are also self-serve water-fill spigots located in the campground. Each campsite features a fire pit and picnic table for your use.
Public camping is available May 1 through September 30. There are three campsites that have electric hookups; site 52 with 20 to 30 amps and 120 volts, Site 53 with 30 amps and 120 volts, and the ADA Site 16 with 20 amps and 120 volts (not recommended for large trailer hookups). The rest of the sites have no hookups. There is no dump station available at Standley Lake, although the City of Westminster does operate a dump station that accepts discharge of wastewater from the kitchens and personal sanitary conveniences of recreational vehicles for a fee. The station is located at the Big Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility, 13150 Huron Street. Camping is available only in designated sites and camping passes must be displayed on the dashboard of your vehicle while in the park. Passes are required to be shown to gatehouse attendants upon reentry and park security after hours. There are several ADA-accessible campsites and the Deer Bell Tent is also ADA-accessible.

Refunds
Full refunds will be given for campsite and bell tent reservations if they are canceled at least 72 hours prior to check-in time. Any reservations canceled after this time will not be refunded. Refunds will not be given once a site is occupied, nor for weather, insects, family emergencies, changes in travel plans or violations of park rules. For reservations lasting more than three nights, refunds will be given for cancellation of any nights beyond 72 hours' notice. A no-show is an automatic forfeiture of charges, and you will be charged for the full stay if the proper cancellation policies are not followed. Cancellations can be made online.
