Generators were allowed to run day and night. The campground host had a dog that barked at everyone and everything. The host durned their radio on before,7 Am and we could hear it at our campsite.

Stayed at site 163, we all of the nearby campsites were open but even if they had fellow campers we were far enough away that there wouldnt have been any sound issues. Took 90 seconds to walk to the lake, very clean and well maintained. The walking paths were beautiful, picnic tables set up in great condition and bathrooms were clean. Absolutely would return to this campground.

The camp sites and surrounding area are a national treasure. The camp host, Joyce is outstanding. The only suggestion I have is that it sure would be nice if the park service would start investing in the bathroom/shower facilities. They have been in need of refurbishing for years.

I accidentally chose the hottest week of the summer to spend at the Wanaki Loop but that didn’t stop me from having a wonderful time, the stunning beauty of my surroundings more than made up for it and the refreshing dips in beautiful and clear Cass Lake kept me sane. I wasn’t super happy with the condition of the restroom (only one toilet working) but it was not that big of a deal. Our campsite was perfect, the price very reasonable, and a good time was had by all! I will definitely go again.
