West Lake Site 12 was fantastic. We overlooked the lake, the campground was amazingly quiet during the week. The site was far enough from other sites we felt comfortable. The campground hosts were very freindly and helpful. The restrooms were very clean and free of flies and stink. Overall this was a great experience.

I’m not sure if the people, Nikki and her husband, were actually the hosts, but they were awesome. Super helpful.
I did see other people who I think were the actual hosts but we did not interact.
My only negative is that the bathrooms smelled HORRIBLE. Like, gagging me horrible.

We love West Lake and have been camping there since the day they reopened 20+ years ago. There have been many camp hosts over the years. The restrooms are not cleaned like they used to be, the camp sites aren't raked anymore and we found trash in the fire pit. The cost continues to. increase and getting reservations gets
harder every year. It's very frustrating after all the years spent up there.

Great camping spot on the end of a loop. Had full power for the camper. We also had quick and easy access to the take from the spot we were at and we enjoyed the fishing.

Bathroom's were smelly and needed to be pumped out. Also all the trash container's were full and over-flowing.

This is a beautiful spot. The campsites are widely separated and well kept. So quiet my phone's sound meter equated it to a quiet library. Vault toilet was very well kept. This is definitely a gem.

Very pleasant as usual. Just wish it wasn’t so hard to reserve a spot, we would come more often.

It’s an OK campground. Better to get a site on the right side of the main entrance to be away from the highway noise and day use area.
