What Guests Are Saying

Camp host Connie received high praise for her friendliness and cleanliness, making for a pleasant stay. While access to water recreation is limited due to a locked gate, the campsite remains a lovely area for camping, with beautiful surroundings. However, visitors should be aware of the small site sizes and the distance to drinking water, suggesting that bringing your own water is advisable.

Camped here and did Tamolitch Falls, Koosah and Sahalie Falls, Terwilliger Hot Springs, and rented a boat on Clear Lake. Beautiful scenery.

Campsite was pretty and close to the Cougar Reservoir. There were some pretty loud people close to us, and unfortunately no firewood available despite being able to have them in established campgrounds.

For people saying the campground is hard to find, it’s really not. I highly recommend downloading the Avenza app and finding maps for the district you’ll be in, you can’t get lost even with no service.

The pictures you see are old.Campground is located in the area of the forest fires about 2 yrs ago. Very dust and tons of biting flies and mosquitoes. The reservoir is surrounded by rocks,dirt, tree stumps & dead trees. Hiking close by, but you have you drive. Camp host is no help..Found a great place to hangout on the river away from the campground. It is where I spent most of my time.

My friends got a little lost getting there, but we found it alright in the end. People tend to drive fast on the gravel road, so there is a LOT of dust kicked up and and be kinda cloudy. The spot we had next to the bathroom didn't smell! The water access is great, stargazing was amazing. Don't come here.
