What Guests Are Saying
Bull Trout is praised for its beautiful, peaceful setting, particularly around Martin Lake, with clean facilities and well-maintained grounds. Camp host Beth receives frequent commendations for her friendliness and helpfulness, enhancing the overall experience. While some reviewers noted the proximity of campsites to neighbors and the rough access road, these issues are outweighed by the positive aspects of the campground.

The campsite and facilities were clean and we had a group site that had a lot of shade and places for the kids to play. Plenty of horse flies and mosquitoes in the evenings so bring bug spray! The lake is beautiful and warm enough to swim, with a lot of wild flowers and huckleberries surrounding it. If you follow the road to the turn around there is a trail that leads to some nice sandy areas (it’s pretty muddy near the boat launch). I’ve gone twice this year and both times lots of shooting can be heard. The first time it was outside of the campsite with gunfire and M-80s until 11pm. This last time it was the campsite next to us getting drunk and firing live rounds only 20 feet from us. The camp hosts were great and took care of the situation with some risk to their personal safety. Gunfire on the campground is probably not that common of a situation but the surrounding are gunfire is pretty common talking to the hosts and sound travels far distances in the forest. If you don’t want to hear it, recommend going to a different campground.

The scenery was beautiful!
The bathrooms were not cleaned and were not restocked for five days out of ten that we stayed there. We kept asking the camp hosts but they told us they did not have anything to restock the bathrooms with, they also never cleaned them. In previous years camp hosts took care of all of that. Also, the signs around the campground and on the trails need to be repainted, many of the are peeling off. The few forest rangers that drove by were very nice, Savannah is one of them!!
Thank you!

Spacious sites with easy lake access. The bugs can be a bit overwhelming so bring the bug spray for maximum enjoyment!
