What Guests Are Saying
East Lake Campsites offers a beautiful and spacious setting, with gorgeous views and a lovely beach, making it a favorite for many returning campers. However, visitors should be prepared for mosquitoes and biting flies, and some areas require maintenance, such as overgrown grass and stumps. Despite a few drawbacks, campers appreciate the privacy and natural beauty of the site, along with the variety of nearby trails.

Great site! Very private with plenty of space. The bathroom is kind of gross but that's to be expected at a site like this.

Great campsite on a dirt road just off the main road. There is a loop connecting each of the 3 sites. People with cabins near by spray painted over national forest signs routing traffic away from the boat launch (it is very strange). Going through the boat launch area is the fastest way to camp 3, if you go around you will have to drive around the lake on, at times, rough dirt road.

The view and water were beautiful, and the campsite was spacious. The big downer was the insane amount of biting flies and mosquitoes. We were eaten alive all day.

It's a great site and would be a fantastic experience. The beach is exquisite. But the people on the private property at the south end were EXTREMELY loud all day and into the late evening. I camp in Hiawatha National Forest for the peace and quiet and they totally ruined that.

Very very buggy mosquitos were terrible definitely recommend lots of bug spray and/or fogger ! grass needed to be cut and they should think about removing some of the stumps in site 3 they are very dangerous and they're easy to trip and get hurt on especially for elders and children . Over all we love East lake and continue to go back every year !!
