We have been going to Juanita Lake for approximately 7 years, it is a jewel and love to spend time there. We noticed the letter regarding an increase in camping fees posted on the billboard at the pay station. We don't mind paying more money for more services rendered, which doesn't seem to be the case at Juanita. Because for some reason a host cannot be hired to monitor activities, empty garbage, clean and stock restrooms..., the campground is looking less appealing. The loud music and people hollering obscenities degrades the experience at this lovely retreat! Since the logging operation, the road leading to Juanita has deteriorated from truck traffic. Also, the stretch of road between the logging and campground has several serious pot holes that haven't been repaired or even filled with gravel (easy fix), that could cause damage to your RV. The non-potable water system in the campground hasn't worked for several years.

Wish there was a no campground generator (noise) rule similar to no motors on the lake.

Lovely campground! Make sure you book through recreation.gov ahead of time!! There is a QR code to scan when you get there, but we had to backtrack on the road a bit to get enough service to book the site - there are no drop-in sites available. The sites were beautiful, and we were surrounded by lots of huge trees. The lake is pretty, and the walkways are accessible around the lake. Drive up to the lake from the south side (not via Meiss Lake Road) and you'll have a paved road all the way up. The other side is much less travelled/maintained.

A lovely small lake, quiet. Not overrun. Outhouse, but no water when I visited in October. Good mostly level spaces, far enough apart. No host in 2024 I don't believe.

Visited towards the end of the season. Had a blast fishing on the lake! Lots of fish, ducks, and a bald eagle hanging around. Campground wasn’t overly busy, but there were surprisingly quite a few day use visitors. Will be returning!
