What Guests Are Saying
Blue Lake Campground offers a fantastic location with excellent facilities and helpful campground attendants, providing a clean and well-maintained environment. The wildflowers are a highlight, and fishing at Blue Lake is enjoyable. However, the area is very windy, making tent camping challenging; it’s recommended to use hard-sided campers or RVs instead.

We love Blue Lake Campground!!! There are lots of trees. The toilets are well kept. Picnic tables and fire rings are in good shape. This was our second year in a row to camp here. The only negative critique I can offer is that a lot of the places to pitch your tents are not entirely level. We used a little bit larger lot, which had a really good level spot for our tent, but that spot was at least 30- 40 plus yards away from the fire ring, picnic table, and parking spot. While that is great with regards to distancing the tent from where you eat, it is not too convenient when unloading and loading the car. However, I would camp in this spot again given some of the limitations. Overall, it is a great campground, and we will be coming back again soon.

I really like the remoteness of this area, yet wish I could get cellular service (AT&T, where are you?). Hiking the trails or just walking the roads, all great.

A absolutely beautiful location. Spacious sites and beautiful trails. Wish water source was a little closer. The road up to the sites can be treacherous if not prepared.
