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.

Very nice helpful host. Great well kept camp ground. Unpotable water is unacceptable. Come on forest service put some effort into getting this fixed! Also had a discussion with the forest service worker regarding the camp ground. She was very rude and could care less about our experience.

It doesn’t seem fair that we book it when there is water and we get there there’s no water we should not have to pay full price for a lack of water

Loved this location, but disappointed to find out water repairs had not yet been completed so potable water was not available.
