Kinnikinnick Campground offers a beautiful setting by Laurance Lake, with well-maintained sites and friendly camp host Cindy, who is consistently praised for her helpfulness. Many visitors appreciate the clean facilities, great swimming and boating opportunities, and scenic views of Mt. Hood. Some concerns include limited privacy and a rough access road, but overall, the campground provides a pleasant experience for families and nature lovers.

great remote location, the road to get there has a sketch section that goes over a little bridge, but otherwise really nice and remote location. some good hiking nearby and water for all your activities. the campground itself is well laid out and offers good seclusion as well as quick access to the bathroom, which btw was super clean for a campground pit.
the one big missing thing is drinking water. we filtered the water from the stream that flows into the lake.

The road getting to the campground is pretty rough and really could be improved. The campground is nice and peaceful. Never saw the camp host come around.

Beautiful setting but there was no camp host present the three nights/four days we were there. A campground "manager" showed up a couple times so we were able to speak with him about other campers ignoring the NO CAMPFIRE signs posted. We also had concerns about the overflowing dumpsters in the parking lot, which can attract bears. Other than those issues we really enjoyed out time there, doing the Laurance Lake Ridge hike and tooling around the lake in a kayak. The description "Hidden gem" is accurate.

Would have given this an excellent review except that we were not able to stay in the campsite we originally wanted to. There had been so much damage to the site over the last year, i could not traverse the path. But the manager and host worked to help is get a space closer to the lake. Which turned out very nice. The park host work so hard to make our stay nice. A bit Dusty but good. We were there for a week.

Overall stay was fairly good. Was not aware through the site of multiple rules. My reservation stated I was also allowed two cars (no prompt of extra fee) and camp host notified us that there was a fee. Loved how site 016 was close to the lake, but did not like how strict it was at times.
