Great spaces, great views, mostly easy reservations process! Big family get together each year and we love this location for everyone from the 2 year olds to the grammas! We kayak and swim off the dock and usually buzz over and rent a pontoon from the lodge for a day!

We read several reviews and decided to give it a try. We booked for a week. The Campground was all soft, fluffy dirt. Dirt flew everywhere. Not impressed at first sight. The mosquitoes were the worst ever! We thought we were prepared. We brought everything possible for mosquito repellent. From sprays, wrist bands to candles. Nothing worked. You woke up to mosquitos and the only time you had peace was around 9pm at night when they would go away. They ate through our clothes. We tented it and of course they got in there as well. To top if off, anytime you had food there were these tiny little black Nat's that devoured your food. We were eating in our tents and vehicles. The bathrooms were awful. When talking to the camp hosts they informed us they cleaned them out once a year! Yikes! We noticed that those that did bring trailers, they stayed in them all the time. The only relief we got was to go to the Resort and rented a boat for the day. On the 3rd morning we could not take it anymore. Everyone was eaten alive. We worried we were going to have to take our oldest grand daughter to the ER from so many bites. We all wore hoodie sweatshirts and only our faces (eyes, nose and mouth) were sticking out. Ha ha! What a site. So we packed it up and headed our 3 hour journey home. What a huge disappointment. We even called before we came and they told us the worst of mosquito season was gone. If you have a RV/trailer- that's recommended. But why camp if you have to stay secluded all day? I would never tent it there, EVER! The only escape is to hang out at the Resort everyday. The only positive thing I can say is, the camp host was amazing. Very nice sweet man ;) Everyone has a camping story and this one by far will never be forgotten. I share this so you don't waste all that money like we did. We camped the Month of August 2019. There were 7 of us with 2 campsites. Happy Camping!!!

Campground was excellent, but far away from many of the βnearbyβ destinations. Prepare to drive at least 45 minutes from the campground if you leave the camp. If you want to see a lot of the area I would recommend doing multiple shorter visits at different campsites in the area since the parks are so large.

Nice site with a good view of the mountain. But you have to protect yourself from the mosquitoes.

We loved our 4 nights camping at Thielsen View, except for the mosquitos -- about which we'd been warned. We bought a screen shelter and had a large campsite that had plenty of room for our 19ft trailer and the screen shelter. We especially enjoyed riding our bikes around the lake on the 11 mile paved trail -- so much that we rode it three times while we were there. We also enjoyed swimming off the little beach on the north end of the lake. We'll go again.

The campground host was amazing. He really went above and beyond.
The forest service personal that was suppose to supply the host with supplies, was not available and the host was having to use his own personal supplies.
The host was so helpful and polite I have camped all over the united states for over 30 years and I have never experienced such a pleasant and helpful host.
