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.

There is no camp host. No Forest Service patrol. Curfew is not enforced. The day use area is abused. People drive vehicles past gate into no vehicle zone. Half burned trash is left in the fire rings for the next user to deal with. Forest Service has dropped the ball on what used to be a fantastic campground.

Great spot for tent camping. Remote location with few amenities - which is what we wanted. Large sites with plent of privacy. Nice hiking trail around the lake. Unfortunately, there is a fungus which is killing many of the trees., but the area remains beautiful. Some bear sightings but no problems. Overall -a very nice area for serious campers.

Excellent campground. Quiet. Clean. Nice fire pits. Good fishing. There was an awesome Osprey bird that swooped down and caught trout each morning. Very fascinating to sit and watch. Also heard a big scary cat screaming (mating calls?) for a good while at night - keep your pups on a leash so they don't become a snack.
