Lake Cleveland - East Side

Lots of things to do at Lake Cleveland especially in the nearby areas. A trip to Mount Harrison’s fire station is well worth it. Limited camping opportunities with some sites are much better than others. Mostly related to the amount of shade.

Camped at the East side campground site 6, Campground is not staffed with a campground host, We arrived at our site early afternoon and someone was in our reserved site that was clearly marked. We approached the campers and informed them that this was reserved for our use, they promptly packed up and left leaving a smoldering fire in the fire pit. Latter that day we noticed a number of empty sites with fire pits smoldering or cluttered with burnt logs. The restrooms were unclean and our neighbors ran their generator late into the night.

We stayed here for one night and absolutely loved it we wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy the area more. The campsite was nice and absolutely beautiful. The facilities were clean and the hosts were very nice.

On Sunday many locals came up and used the campsites without paying for them. Two huge gatherings on two different sites. Kind of ruined the experience. Advice is to NOT stay at the campground on a Sunday.

Beautiful place with a nice little trail to an overlook & also one around the lake. Also saw the Cassia Crossbill! Lots of birds with nesting Mountain Bluebirds next to our camp. The proximity to the peak & rare paintbrush is also a plus. Our only complaint is the few OHV’s being driven through the campground in the evening. Luckily they stopped when Mark spoke to them.

. Was not able to use the site due to smoke from other fires. Tried to cancel trip, but Recreation Gov. only assigned a case number and never got back to me. d their policy, but was just asking for help.

Beautiful location, sites are 50/50 whether you will get one that is good for a tent, otherwise you'll be setting your tent up on the driveway. It would be wonderful if there was ONE spigot somewhere in the campgroup to get water, use our funds to get some water please.

Campsite was great, a little small, but it worked out well for us (3 campers), facilities were nice and we loved fishing. We caught plenty of fish and the weather was perfect! The campsites were all full, but the lake didn't feel crowded. Would camp here again!

Site #3 was great! We enjoyed kayaking on the lake and hiking.

Absolutely loved staying here. I stayed in site 8 which was far enough away from other sites with a lot of space. Very close proximity to the lake with beautiful views. Bathrooms were a little walk but far enough away to not have the residual scent of the pit toilets. No bear boxes or food storage available, limited cell service and must pack out any trash. If I lived closer I would stay here more often. Beautiful campground.
