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 campsite was great, as they all looked; but there were so many mosquitos!! The lake looked nice, but there was a lot of plant stuff in the water's edges and that water was all "standing." I think that we went through an entire can of DEET. We still enjoyed camping but, I think the experience would have been better if we hadn't stayed near the water's edge.

This campground is extremely remote and he’s to get to. The lake didn’t look swim friendly. It was very far from the redwoods. Forest seemed haunted. Will never go back.

Very bad experience for us and we have been to many campgrounds. The camp sites are not well organised (close to each other and not flat) and it is very remote (the road to get there is not easy + 2 hours from Redwood). People there were very noisy until late and there was lots of mosquitoes.

Love this place! The campsites are nice and large, easily accommodating two tents. Each site is well separated from others and there was no noise (aside from some snoring) at night. Vault toilets are cleaner than a lot of gas station restrooms. Be forewarned that there are bears in the area and can mess with your stuff but they don't appear to be dangerous or very bothersome -- just remember to lock your food and toiletries in your car as no bear boxes are provided.
