What Guests Are Saying
Blue Lake Campground offers stunning wildflower views and clean facilities, with a helpful host. The campground's location provides access to various adventures, including great fishing at Blue Lake. However, the area is largely treeless due to a past blowdown, leading to significant wind issues and a lack of privacy, making it less suitable for tent camping.

I have camped here several times in tents and absolutely loved it. I now have a 22 ft. Travel trailer and I took it up to Blue Lake Campground and it was awesome I enjoy the quietness and the coolness of this place. I fished in Blue Lake and caught several fish and tossed them back so the kids can catch them. I will certainly return again and again.

We had a great time at this campground! The campsites are far enough apart to not feel like you're right next to other people, and the bathrooms are centrally located, so it's easy to go when you need to. It was well-maintained and clean. No one was partying too loud or causing disturbances. The campground is just a short walk through the trees and down the road from Blue Lake, where we fished and sat in the sun. It's a very picturesque area with the snow-capped mountains right behind the lake, but it was certainly warm enough to enjoy shorts and a tank top. I caught my limit in fish easily both days and fried them up over the campfire. Awesome place that I will definitely go back to.

Due to a high wind storm back in 2022, many trees here were blown down. In the Spring of 2024 the USFS clear cut the area. Today Blue Lake Campground has no trees, but the grass is starting to comeback along with the flowers.Also note that because there are no trees in this campground it can be "very windy" at times. Please be prepared for this when you camp here. |
