Avalanche Campground

Great campground with easy access to Trail of the Cedars and Avalanche Lake hike. Facilities are very nice with clean restrooms and water located throughout. The rangers were very kind and helpful in answering questions and providing recommendations.

Roomy, close to water and bathrooms.
Just wish we had known fires were OK earlier so we could have purchased some firewood on the way!

Great campground!

One of the most beautiful campgrounds I’ve been to. Cedar trees everywhere, walking distance to trail heads. Will be back

Great camp group.

Great location to be able to get into the park early without the traffic issues. Very shady. Standard minimal facitlities.

Avalanche Campground is clean, well maintained, and has a very friendly and helpful Campground Host couple! The campground is a great location for leaving your vehicle at your campsite and enjoying an early morning hike to Avalanche Lake! Check out isn’t until noon, so it’s a great hike option, and a beautiful destination at the end of the climb up!

Nice campground nestled next to trail of cedars.

Great campsite in a great National Park. It wasn't secluded but still had sufficient separation from other sites. Short walk to Avalanche Lake trailhead which was a great hike. (Go early).

I would try to stay here again. Reservations are hard to get, check daily.

Avalanche campground is well run and pretty much as described on rec.gov and by other reviewers. Our site was spacious and easy to access. I would have given 5 star rating except the site directly across from us had a generator user. It was pretty obnoxious. Each day he used it exactly 8a-10a and 5p-7p. I don't know about midday hours. The sites have lots of shade trees BUT there are very few low branches so there is almost no privacy at eye level between sites and noise easily travels 5 site lengths or more. The guests were all considerate including the camper across from us but WTH? Turn on a loud generator at 8a then go inside and close the door for net two hours? Why are you here? I suggested to the managers that they restrict generator use to just midday when most people are offsite and limit it to single hour near dinner time. Or maybe regulate the dB levels. Anyway, we still had a great time and would stay there again. One other thing: although there is signage prohibiting it, Avalanche Lake trail hikers that can't find parking at the trail head will leave their cars at unoccupied sites. There was a car in our site when we arrived at 5p and the owners came at 6p and left. I saw the same think happen at the site next to ours. It's a small nuisance as sites easily accommodate two cars but it would be a big issue if you're towing a trailer or pop-up.
