What Guests Are Saying
Fish Lake Campground offers a beautiful and secluded experience, with stunning views of the lake and plentiful wildlife, including trout fishing opportunities. Many campers enjoyed spacious sites, clean facilities, and peaceful surroundings, making it a great choice for those seeking tranquility. However, the campground's remoteness can lead to challenges like mosquito swarms and limited cell service, and some visitors noted the absence of a camp host to manage unruly campers.

Excellent campground. Quiet. Clean. Nice fire pits. Good fishing. There was an awesome Osprey bird that swooped down and caught trout each morning. Very fascinating to sit and watch. Also heard a big scary cat screaming (mating calls?) for a good while at night - keep your pups on a leash so they don't become a snack.

Great spot for tent camping. Remote location with few amenities - which is what we wanted. Large sites with plent of privacy. Nice hiking trail around the lake. Unfortunately, there is a fungus which is killing many of the trees., but the area remains beautiful. Some bear sightings but no problems. Overall -a very nice area for serious campers.

There is no camp host. No Forest Service patrol. Curfew is not enforced. The day use area is abused. People drive vehicles past gate into no vehicle zone. Half burned trash is left in the fire rings for the next user to deal with. Forest Service has dropped the ball on what used to be a fantastic campground.

Great, isolated campsite located right on the lake. Lake itself is full of life. Bring a boat of any kind, or you will be disappointed you didn't! Campsite is shaded yet warm during the day, cool/cold at night (mid-Jun). Weather was sunny with no clouds entire trip. We stayed at site 13, classified a prime spot, which overlooks the lake and is private. Toilets were plentiful, clean and regularly checked. Running water taps are usually also located outside the toilets, as well as separated garbage disposal. Each site has a fire ring and a picnic bench table; there are no bear food storage lockers. Expect a very long and windy trip up, but you don't encounter much, if any, traffic. Make sure you bring everything you need, you can't just pop down the shops. There is absolutely no signal within an hour of the campsite, so make sure you cache a map or bring a physical one. Google maps does not have the roads mapped correctly, Apple Maps does. There is only one signpost for fish lake before you reach the site.
