What Guests Are Saying
Fish Lake Campground is a cherished destination for many families, known for its serene beauty and clean facilities, including well-maintained restrooms. While there is no potable water and some overgrown shrubbery, the campground offers spacious sites, beautiful lake views, and great fishing opportunities, particularly for trout. Visitors appreciate the remote location, though it can attract mosquitoes and occasional bear sightings, which adds to the adventure for some campers.

The campground was very remote, the location was about 2 hours away from getting phone service for emergency in any direction. It had a 30 minute drive up a small mountain road to the campsite and the first night we were the only ones there. We saw 4 bears at the camp grounds and hundreds of mosquitos swarmed the camp site. After leaving we had dozens of bites even with bug spray. We talked to a very nice park ranger that loved the place, but we just maybe would have liked to know HOW remote it is as we are traveling as two females. Be very bear aware with food as well, since it’s so remote the bears are very prominent and we believe they were playing with our bear can that we set away from camp one night because in the morning it was moved and had marks. Just leaving a review to say what I wish we had known before staying. Still a beautiful surrounding area and had fun.

There was not campground host. There were a few unruly folks camping there that were disturbing the entire campground. A host would have been very beneficial. This tainted anytime we spent at our campsite unfortunately. Time we spent on the lake and hiking was great though. We left early due to this.

It was one of the most amazing camping trips I have ever been on. It was the day after a heavy rain that we went and nobody else was at the campground. It was only me and my son the whole entire time. The bathrooms were the cleanest I have ever seen in a campground. The lake had more trout then I have ever seen anywhere else. There were eagles, hawks, osprey, otters, bears and deer. Truly one of the best experiences of my life. All for like 18 buck plus gas to get there :)
