What Guests Are Saying
Juanita Lake Campground is a beautiful, serene spot perfect for family gatherings and outdoor activities like kayaking and fishing. Many campers appreciate the spacious, well-kept sites and stunning scenery, although some have noted issues with the lack of potable water and campground oversight. While the road to the campground can be challenging and insect presence can be bothersome, overall, visitors enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and plan to return.

I think its been 4 years running that no potable water is available. Call first to check on availability.

This lake has only recently over the last year or two became a reserve only campground. This makes it a little uneasy to go and hope no unscheduled campers are in your paid for spot. With no camp host to enforce rules, just beware. We go on the off seasons, so it has not been an issue for us. The website could really use some work to help this process out. We had such a delightful time last week. This really is a beautiful little gem.

I love this campground but the road leading to it is treacherous and almost impossible if you meet someone coming the opposite way. Also, the insects are insane. There were wasps and huge horseflies harassing us the entire day. We definitely won't be going back even though it's beautiful.

We love this place and it's our go to. However, this time there was not any forest service workers or even law enforcement that come around. The trash was overflowing and the bathrooms were a serious mess. Very disappointed this time. We usually camp here 3 times a year but our next camping trip will be another campground.

The sites were level and the asphalt was in good condition. The site I was in had shade which was welcome.
