Little Cultus Campground

It was cold and windy...the lake was lapping gently at the edge of my campsite. Aside from the campground host, I was the only person there (everyone else had cancelled because of the cold weather). I was in heaven! This is a beautifully maintained campground, and I was so lucky to have it all to myself!! The campground host checked in on me, let me know that he was available if I needed anything and then gave me my privacy. The bathroom was so clean and well kept! I wandered around the different campsites and found all of them to be well taken care of, and there were plenty of places just to hike in the area. All in all, a perfectly hidden gem in the forest and highly recommended, even if you do have to share the area with other campers!!!

Sites are pretty open, not much privacy. Campground was clean restrooms maintained.

Clean campsites and bathrooms

This is one of many times I've gone to a campground and it was almost empty but every site was reserved. It is ridiculous that people can reserve sites and not show up and prevent people from enjoying the outdoors. There should be a cutoff time that you forfeit your site for the day if you don't show, maybe 5pm.

Be aware that this campground is only accessible by a dirt road. Easily clearable by most vehicles, but it wasn’t advertised anywhere. Would have been hard to access in the rain. Campsites seemingly aren’t labeled. I arrived just after sunset and there were no staff or signage to help find my campsite, which was quite far away from the entrance. Very frustrating for a solo traveler. Recommend other campgrounds in central cascades closer to the main hiking trails, not this one.

Our 3 night stay at Little Cultus Lake was wonderful. We were there during the week, in August, and the campground was nearly empty. It was so quiet, with no motor boats allowed to go faster than 10 mi an hour and the fabulous sunrises and sunsets were amazing. The stars at night were phenomenal. Although there is a water pump at the entry to the campground, it wasn't working so be sure to take your own water. Big Cultus Lake is only about 4 mi up the road so ice and food, if needed, are easily available. There were no mosquitos or other bothersome insects and we were able to have a fire in the fire ring. The vault toilets were very clean. Great place to camp!

The young woman, that was the camp host, was amazing. She was so helpful and kind. The bathrooms were extremely clean.
Shhhhh Little Cultus Lake Campground is my favorite.

Nice and quiet campground. Bring enough drinking/potable water with you.

Our campsite was excellent! Sturdy picnic bench, great fire pit, awesome blend of space for setting up tents as well as trees for shade. Plus the lake was so close and so beautiful! We brought our paddleboards and went out on the water four times in two days! The campsite host was very sweet and she kept the vault toilet as clean as one can hope for. We would highly recommend this location!

Beautiful place, I've been going camping there since I was a kid. Bring bug spray and a sweatshirt. Even in Mid July it got a bit chilly.
