What Guests Are Saying
Lake Campground is a clean and quiet facility, conveniently located just a short walk from the lake, making it a great spot for camping. Most campers enjoyed their stay, praising the friendly ranger and the overall pleasant atmosphere. However, some sites, particularly number 5, are near the pit toilets and may have unpleasant odors, and the terrain can be uneven at times.

Staff was amazing and the campground was clean. What I didn't know was that there was a public bathroom literally in the campsite. So we had to deal with people coming and going day and night and the stench of the latrine.

Campground was quiet and clean, including the restrooms. We bought firewood from the host (who took care of both grounds) at the larger campground across the street. Slept well in our tent on a mostly flat spot on our site. Jackson Lake (more like a large pond) is a 2-minute walk away, there are some hiking trails nearby (though we didn't use them), and the town of Wrightwood is a 10-20 minute drive. Overall, a nice, low-key place for relaxation.

Site 5 is the worst site. It was so hilly there was not a flat spot to pitch a tent. It is steps away from the bathroom so you can smell it all night. The neighbors played music until 2am so we hardly slept.

There is not host at this specific campground. They are located at the next one up the road. I mention that because a group of no less than 14 guys showed up the ONE night we were staying and they had an all out PARTY from 10:30p- 7am the following day. Non stop music and loud hooting and hollering. They were not there to camp - they never even set up tents.
So, it is highly unlikely that you would experience this BUT because there was no camp host, no one was there to ‘regulate’ or enforce the ‘quiet time’.
It was the worst camping experience we have ever had.

Beautiful campground, got there on a Friday night. Beautiful views and fresh air. No signal on phone, but we don’t go camping to be on our phones. Payment was easy online kind of confusing as it was both first come first serve and reservation. No issues setting up camp. Other campers were friendly. Fished on Saturday and went home early Sunday morning. Amazing! Will be going back!
