Chambers Lake

Hard to get reservations and always full. Nice campground near Chambers lake. Fair to good fishing for stockers, some bigger trout. Can hike there. Location is near other hiking sites and other lakes.

The campground hosts at Chambers Lake CG did an excellent job and you could tell, from the clean bathrooms to the orderliness in which the campground was run.

Chambers Lake is the ideal family campground. Quiet, distant sites, lake access, open areas to play, easy hikes, clean, wel-cared for. We couldn’t ask for anything more! We loved every minute!

Love this place! Campground is very clean, the other guests were nice and respectful of ‘neighbors’, the paddling is fantastic and the views are gorgeous. We were lucky enough to see an adolescent moose, a Merganser hen with her three ducklings, a deer, and a bald eagle! Brenda the campground host was wonderful, very friendly and helpful. Definitely going back next year.

We went camping here July 2020, and it was incredibly busy. We got a reservation because of a last minute cancellation (you have to reserve online 4 days in advance regardless). Our reservation was only for Saturday, so we tried to disperse camp Friday which ended up being a 4+ hour driving day just to find a campsite. If you are camping in 2020 up by Chambers, don't plan on dispersed camping or first come first serve. It's VERY BUSY! We did end up getting 1 more FCFS site (we had 8 people but 4 cars and 3 tents so we couldn't fit at one site) and it was a 5+ minute walk from our other campsite. We were one of 4 interested parties in the fcfs site, the only way we got it was waiting from 9AM-12PM until the campers left, then immediately grabbing it. Other than the hectic experience of reservations/first come first serve, we had a great time. The camp host (we met two of them) were very kind and helpful, but not too "in your face" or overly involved. The bathrooms were very clean and Chambers Lake is a few minute walk from all the campsites. The tent pads are pretty small, so that wasn't ideal (we had space at our site for another tent but couldn't use it because it wasn't on the pad). The campsites are very close together compared to some other reserved sites we have been to for sure. No cell service at all, so that's nice. The fishing was okay, not great. The day use parking lot is nice and has a few picnic tables. We had a sunshade which was very much needed, it got pretty hot. Everyone was quiet & courteous, we had a great time overall. We will probably seek out a more private campsite if we go again, but I'd recommend this campground to anyone!

Week days are best for less crowds, Clean and well spaced sites, Great Camp Host's, Beautiful Mountain lake, Not much social distancing though and few masks were seen, some bugs i.e. mosquitoes, biting flies and pine beetles, Weather can change quickly, other than that a nice well kept campground...

Little windy. Great views.

Always a fun and beautiful time. Get your wood once you’re there, there is plenty and this prevents the spread of invasive species. The campground staff is amazing, friendly and kept us safe by cleaning the cites and facilities; thank you so much!
