What Guests Are Saying
Washunga Bay is praised for its clean and well-kept sites, friendly staff, and a pleasant, quiet atmosphere, making it a popular choice among campers. Many visitors appreciate the new camping additions and enjoy meeting other friendly campers. However, there have been concerns regarding a long-standing water boil order and the lack of showers, which some felt should have been communicated more clearly.

Thanks for giving me a chance to express my regrets. We made our reservation for October 12 through October 17. It was the water! We were never told what was causing the problem. The lake level was very low but we had been told the water was coming from a Kaw City, OK well. The last straw was on Sunday evening when I ran water for coffee and it looked as though it had already been ran through the coffee grounds! This is not good. The Corp was not watching this problem!

Most of the boat dock walk up needed replaced and some are missing. The water level is extremely low -four feet and needs to be let out by adding additional walk out or add an additional dock temporary attached to stationary permanent dock. There is not enough water at this time as kaw releases for hunting season plant growth or energy due to less and less rain fall. Additional adding an increase to the wake zone- most of bay. Rain levels are low however, the amount of release per day is triple what rain fall potentials. Fishing jug lines filled the perimeter anywhere from 10 to 60 feet to center of bay. Normal both fishing and boating share the water respectfully. This visit was different as fishermen complain about the boating activities due to increase wave movement. The east side of the bay smelled fishy and looked differently in color. Now the good: 50 amp 24.00 a night spot worked wonderfully and was clean.
