Lake Winfield Scott Recreation Area

The tent pads are very unlevel and are fairly small for today's style of family tents . There was also no communication on the website that you were not allowed to bring your own fire wood unless it was from within 50 miles of the camp site. This was the first and last time I will get the group site unless it gets a overhaul and the tent pads are leveled and made bigger

This was our 5th time in 3 years staying at the cabin at Lake Winfield Scott and they have all been great. We wish it was open during the winter months and we’d come more. We are grateful to Stephanie and her husband for taking care of the park. We are grateful for the community with homes there and the town of Suchess. Everyone makes it a great place to be and we can’t wait to get back.

Amazing site manager and nice layout!

Stephanie and her husband are always so helpful and we truly appreciate them and FindOutdoors for the work they do. This was our 5th stay at the cabin at Lake Winfield Scott and I’m not sure how many times we have hiked to Anna Ruby Falls but it never gets old.

It’s our hope that soon the cabin at Lake Winfield Scott may be available year round. If it were we would certainly come more often. Some wish it had heat but we love the wood stove. Now if they want us mid summer then at least window unit A/C is a must. Overall our only complaint really is the gravel driveway… forget it if you don’t have 4x4. We do have it so no big deal for us.

Find Outdoors we sure hope to hear that the cabin will soon be open year round but until then we will certainly plan to book as early as we can in the spring hoping for a cold enough weekend for the wood stove.

Check in staff were awesome and attentive. South campsite was well maintained and beautiful.

Not much activity due to time of year, however camp host were extremely helpful and very accommodating. Had a nice campsite and a very relaxing stay.

LWS is a fabulous campground! We went back to back weekends and stayed 1 night on the North Loop (the campsite was beautiful and wooded) and then 3 nights on the South Loop (the campsite was large, wooded and right next to the creek). Even with rain both weekends it was a great experience! This was my first time camping and couldn’t have asked for a better campground to go to! The managers are phenomenal, restrooms spotless and again just a great experience! We will definitely be back!!!

Fabulous campgrounds. Every site has a view. Well maintained. Great bath houses. Two large playgrounds. Quiet. Nice sunrises and sunsets

Campsite was blown off of all leaves before we arrived. Very nice. Bathrooms were very clean. Park manager who came around and checked us in was as nice and friendly as could be. We had an excellent time once again. This is our 15th time to this site.

I camped at this location for several days in the North Loop and overall had a good experience. The campsites in both North and South loops are spread out so you generally aren't on top of another camper. The campsites are level and squared off with rail ties; I think this helped keep water away during the rains we had during my stay. The area is quiet at night, except for occasional sounds from the local critters (which actually is a bonus!).

The closest showers to the North Loop are at the beach house. Unfortunately, both times I used the showers, the drain area was clotted with crud -- hair, paper, etc. I realize this is at least partly the responsibility of slovenly users who left their mess behind, but it also may indicate maintenance needs to be a bit more frequent. The shower area itself is nice and the water gets hot quickly. The nearest toilets in the campground were fine, though 1 of the 3 is out of commission. Another could use a hook on the inside of the door.

My site had water, though I never understood how the inflatable hose on the ground behind and down the hill from the campsite was supposed to be used. Since accessing the water from the site seemed to require going to the nearest spigot to connect the hose and start the water, it would be just as easy/far to go directly to the spigot for water and forget the hose entirely.

I recommend this location as a place to camp when in the area.
